Rushworth US Coast Guard Commission
A few of you may have already heard about this, since I was told in the spring that I had been chosen, but the paperwork has just been completed so I can officially announce it now.
I've been selected to paint the official portrait of the Commandant of the United States Coast Guard, Four Star Admiral Thad Allen. The portrait will hang in the Coast Guard

Congratulations, Michelle!
My son is in the Coast Guard. I have a great deal of respect for this branch of Homeland Security. They are a very tight knit, honorable community of men and women who get little recognition. Few people understand that it is the Coast Guard who keeps our waters safe and when the Navy is overseas, the Coast Guard is there securing the safety of the Navy.
I can't wait to see your painting and look forward to hearing about the ceremony. Those guys and gals are pretty stunning in their dress whites!
Can you share with us how you got the commission in the first place?
This is a well deserved commission for you!

They found my website. (Kudos to Cynthia Daniel, once again!) I guess when they saw that I had done other government commissions, they contacted me.
