[Gimp-user] curvy shape with separating bar - another example

[Bob Meetin - www.dottedi.biz]

An example of what I would like to be able to create in gimp:  
http://www.bigstockphoto.com/images/bsp-headleft.gif

--> the smooth horizontal curvy shape white/light green, with the 
separating green border that grows from left to right

Is this reasonably doable in GIMP?
