Finally, the one below was a commission for my fiance (and his family), whose uncle passed after a long illness. Everyone knew that Uncle Bill was extremely proud of his Silver Beaver award, which is for distinguished service to the Boy Scouts of America. I purposely tried to straddle the line between caricature and portraiture on this one, because my intent was to invoke warm memories of him for his loved ones. RIP Uncle Bill.
