This is from a series of portraits I painted for an exhibition called 'The People of the School', a series of portraits of adults and children who were part of a remote Aboriginal school community I used to visit in my work as a teacher educator. The subject here is Geoffrey, who was in upper Primary at the time. I wanted to capture his mischievous grin, his thoughtful gaze and his crazy unruly hair.
