I agree with the bookmakers that Guy Maestri's Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu may win.

Any painting in the competition must be painted in the year before it and must be entered by Feb so...
the closest I can estimate is that Jackson painted Flacco in 2008
It was painted in two sittings however I cannot source specific dates in 2008.
