Former Sask. premier Brad Wall honoured with official portrait in Saskatchewan Legislative Building
“I am feeling… I’m feeling very, very grateful today and those who give speeches for a living, would probably say, ‘You don’t need to repeat the ‘very’ … it’s a redundancy.’ But I kind of feel like I do,” Wall said.
Wall served as premier from 2007 until he retired from politics in 2018. He is the fourth-longest tenured premier in the province’s history. The portrait was painted by renowned Canadian portrait artist Phil Richards. The province said the portrait took four and a half months of work to complete over the span of two years.The portrait features Wall seated in the premier’s office surrounded by meaningful objects, photos of his family, and holding a copy of the Saskatchewan Plan for Growth. A painting of scenery near Swift Current can be seen over his shoulder.
