Bessie Purvis Petyarre commenced her painting career in 2005. Her mother, the late Polly Ngale, was one of the most esteemed and sought-after artists in Utopia. Bessie has received support and learned about her culture and the technique of Dreamtime depiction from her mother and aunts.

Her "Bush Plum Dreaming" paintings are inspired by three distinguished figures: her father-in-law, Kubbitji Kngwarreye, Aunty Emily Kame Kngwarreye, and her mother, Polly. These works depict her homeland, Alhalkere, and all that it encompasses.  Her Dreamings originate from both her parents, with her learning the Antwelarr and Kame Dreamtime stories from her father, and the Anwekety Dreaming from her mother.

 The Antwerre and Kame Dreamtime stories are particularly significant to Bessie’s homeland. " Antwelarr " pertains to the plant, and " Kame " refers to the seed. These themes are most frequently represented in Bessie's paintings, which also feature women's ceremonies that are continually performed to honour the spirit of the Bush Plum and to ensure its ongoing productivity.

About the Painting

The Bush Plum is a vital part of the narrative of this region and serves as a major food source gathered by women. The women collect as much as possible, given that the fruit is only harvestable for several weeks each year. 

Bessie employs a topographical technique to illustrate the growth patterns of the Bush Plum, building layers of paint through dotting, smearing, and varied brushstrokes. This method allows her to visually celebrate the seasonal variations and cultural importance of the Bush Plum.

Run small, size it up
Color: Mushroom, Size: 32W x 30L, Color: Mushroom, Size: 32W x 30L
They go small, Im 5'8", 165lbs, usually 32x30 fits just rigth in most brands Levis, Izod, whatever, can't even close the zipper on this one, my dingus prints in the front if I manage to close it, I will try a 34 or even 36, if you want one, size it up. Length is right. Anyway, the pant is good, sturdy looking material, is not soft but nothing uncomfortable probably gets right after break it in, reinforced stitches on pockets. I think they would work great for a technician, salesman or an engineer, those jobs where you have to look like a human being with a polo shirt but sometimes needs to do something without ripping your pants while crouching or for daily abuse of the regular Joe, will try another that fits

Good, but size up!
Color: Black, Size: 30W x 29L
These are exactly what I wanted, but as many have stated, you need to size up. I found that going up two sizes (from my usual 28 to a 30) made for a great fit. I love that they come in a 29 length. One anything point is they came with creases in them from being folded in the package for a length of time. I had to steam and press them before wearing. I’ll likely buy them in other colors.

order 3 or 4 inches up than your usual waist, run very small in waist
Color: Charcoal, Size: 33W x 30L
arrived with dirt on the bottom legs but amazon helped with that. anyway I weigh 115 lbs and am 5'8 and I am a woman. I know that Dickies these days run super small for their size, so it sounds insane but order up 4 inches than your normal waist size, then run small in the waist and they will shrink a size with a few washings. I ordered a 33 waist and they did shrink probably a size in one wash lol! they are still a bit loose in the waist but not big and I know with a couple more washings they will be just right. I do not like anything skinny fit or with no give. but yah, I love the charcoal gray color, one of my favorite colors, much cooler than plain black. I normally enjoy the Dickies shorts but with these forty something degree afternoons these are my new go tos. I am not a jeans person and I sure as hell with not be wearing pajama pants out in public like these dang younger adults lately.
