Dorothy paints her country "Mina Mina", a major ceremonial site at Lake McKay in the Tanami Desert of Central Australia. The site of Mina Mina is made up of two enormous claypans that rarely fill with water. When it rains and the water soaks into the ground, small areas of earth dry out at the edges, becoming delineated with salt. The lines of white dots represent the salt crystals.
