InaMart Women's T-Shirt

I painted this portrait with the brother of InaMart. He was a student of mine that turned into a close friend. He was a young (early 20's) man who had come to the U.S. to work for a combine team. He had been in an accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. He started taking airbrush lessons from me to retrain himself into a new career. After being "jacked around" by the U.S. Court system and Workers Compensation he was sent back home to South Africa. We had the honor of meeting InaMart and Ludi's mother Corne Bortha. I gave InaMart the original painting - must say her beauty left me speechless - kind of like being star struck. Ludi passed away a couple of years after returning to South Africa due to complications from his injuries. We continue to be in contact with his mother with the hopes of one day going to South Africa to see her.
