It is a commission for the National Search and Rescue. Someone from the organization gets a portrait every year. Maybe whoever was president that year? I should probably ask this, because I'm going to be doing the portrait for them again this year, and perhaps every year after that if they'll have me and if I want to keep giving them a great deal.
It is painted on stretched leather. Which at first I was really worried about (and I do think the overall thing looks kind of odd...) but, it was actually really fun to paint on. Similar to the one time I tried linen canvas. I might have to foot the bill and get linen canvas in the future.
Anyway, here it is. Cheers.
