Sisters Myrtle, Ada, Nancy, Kathleen, Gloria, Violet, and Gina(Jeannie)Petyarre
Daughters of the above mentioned sisters form the Numina family
Heatwole has identified the following individuals (and more not pictured) who are either sisters or cousins to one another from the Petyarre sisters.
David F. Heatwole work inspired by these individuals
In 2010 after over a 1/2 year of contemplation David finally picked up the canvas, that had water lilies sketch onto it, which had been resting on the floor and got to work. In total the work from concept to completion took about a year to finish. He sold it when it was half finished at a festival in Hedgesville WV with the understanding that he would complete it and print it. It is a piece from his 3-D series where viewers can put on polarizing lenses and see the work come to life. After completing the work Heatwole says that he was exhausted from working on it and just out of shear frustration for the amount of time it took to create prayed for a technique that would help him create paintings faster and cheaper making work more affordable to people in his area. A day later he came across a piece of art by Gloria Petyarre that changed his artistic career.
Since that time Heatwole has completed over a hundred paintings using a variety of techniques he picked up by studying the work of these Native Australians. After a year of practicing he started to get back to his own illustrative style. |
