This is David with the painting he did for his exhibit in the NT Arts office. It is a beautiful painting and it depicts the following story which is a recurring theme in many Aboriginal paintings:

Kokok Bibayeng Modjarrkki (Big Brother Killed By A Freshwater Crocodile).

This is the story of two brothers, big brother and little brother and big brother's wife.

One morning little brother went hunting by himself, he got hot and thirsty
and went to the river for a drink.

When he got there he saw the tracks of a crocodile and got excited and ran back to tell big brother. Big brother and little brother and big brothers wife went back to the river and little brother showed them the crocodile tracks.

Big brother told his wife to go and get a string bag, a big one. Big brother dived into the water and went
down to where the crocodile lay sleeping on the bottom.

Big brother wrapped the string bag around the crocodile's mouth but forgot to get paperbark to put over the crocodiles eyes.

Big brother started to lift the crocodile up towards the surface but the crocodile opened his eyes and saw the sun and broke the string bag and tore big brother apart.

Little brother and big brothers wife saw this and started to cry.

Straight away when little brother saw that big brother had been killed he asked big brothers wife to marry him.
