“It was all new to me and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the artists doing what they do so well,” Mr Finger said.

The humble third-generation cattle farmer and Muster Dogs TV personality has worn many hats in his lifetime, but never in his wildest dreams did he imagine being the subject of a portrait.

He said the experience was surreal.

“[Annie] enjoyed the whole trip, especially the high-rise hotel we were staying in,” he said.
