This story is about my grandfather, Reuben Pareroultja. He was taught how to paint watercolours by Albert Namatjira as a young fella. My mum told me this story about him. They used to stay at Rodna Outstation. When they come into Ntaria they always pull up at Albert’s house. Reuben and his two brother always do watercolouring with Albert. When he goes to his country, he used to teach his children how to do watercolouring. Especially his young son, Hubert Pareroultja. Now, I decided to do a landscape same way as him on the pot.
