A Texas native, Windberg began to attract national attention in the 1960s.^{[citation needed]} He studied under the Texas painter Simon Michael. Windberg was determined to paint like the masters, so he developed a way to have a smooth surface by using diluted modeling paste to prepare his painting surface.

By using this technique he could duplicate the look of the masters without spending as much time on each painting.^{[citation needed]}

He has executed romantic still lifes and figurative oil paintings depicting life in Texas, Mexico, Spain and Greece.
