REGINA – On Nov. 30, former Premier Brad Wall’s official portrait was unveiled at the Legislature.

“There is perhaps no better time for intentional reflection than at your own public hanging. I will ever be grateful for having the very unlikely opportunity to serve this province that I love. Thank you, Saskatchewan,” said former Premier Brad Wall in social media posts sharing this video of his speech at the event.

“Painted by renowned Canadian artist Phil Richards, the portrait took four and a half months of work over the span of a two-year period. The portrait features Wall in a three-piece suit, seated in the premier’s office. He is surrounded by meaningful objects, photos of his family, and is holding a copy of The Promise of Saskatchewan. A painting of scenery near Swift Current can be seen over his shoulder. Richards is one of Canada’s most esteemed portrait painters and is known for his depictions of government, education and business leaders, including Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth on the occasion of her Diamond Jubilee,” stated the official press release.

Wall has, on occasion, contributed opinion pieces to Pipeline Online.
