Watiya (Tree Dreaming) is associated with Men’s business. Traditionally wood was collected from trees (Uwalki) and made into spears. The top section of the painting represents the leaves (Watiya) and the roots are underground. Mitjili is sister to artists Turkey Tolson (dec) and Narbula Scobie, a family dominant in artistic talent. This painting is a representation of the trees that provide wood for spears and other wooden objects as part of Tjukurrpa, the women’s side of the men’s spear straightening dreaming. Uwalki is the country where the trees are found and is part of the country of the artist’s mother. The area around Kintore is rich in bush foods that include seeds and berries as well as turkeys and kangaroos. The hills of Kintore are often painted in the painting. This dreaming was taught to the artist by her mother.
