"Sand Frog Dreaming" is a painting we can all relate to because when the dry times finally end the sand frogs come out from their hibernation in the sand and sing a well know song. I am single and looking for a mate. This song means better times are coming in the desert. The painting shows the women coming together to find the singing frogs to eat. Painted by Janice Jinjula in acrylic on linen and is 94 x 135 cm or 37 x 53 inches. Only $2,900.00
