Description

A woman dressed in a vibrantly coloured outfit, decorated with intricate beadwork and patterns, stands against a backdrop of large leaves. She is wearing a headdress and has a calm expression on her face as she looks directly at the viewer. This piece of fine art called Sulawesi Girl was painted in oils
Young Windy came to stay with our friend who is a school teacher at the high school, she stayed for one year even though it did not seem like a year, she was a fine ambassador for her country with impeccable manners and was happy with a great smile, I was really happy when she agreed to the site for me to paint her portrait, I always do a few detailed sketches of my subject before painting them, no matter what the subject is an animal or human, the painting of Windy was finished in 12 weeks and it went into the BMW ball at the GoldCoast and sold for $9.500 to raise money for the Cancer Council of Queensland.
