This portrait was presented to the Hon. Mayor Willie L. Brown, Jr. upon receiving the Living Legend award from his fraternity Alpha Phi Alpha.

Willie Brown's comment upon the unveiling of the portrait: "That be me!" Here's a photo (by Auintard) of Willie admiring the portrait just after it was unveiled.

Here (below) is a photo (also by Auintard) of Willie and I in front of the painting.

This portrait was created as part of the San Francisco Legendary Mayors series. You will see the symbol of the Mayor's Office plus some press clips about Mayor Brown in the portrait.

Here (below) is an earlier portrait I created in 1994 of Willie L. Brown, Jr., from a live sitting in his office in City Hall while he was Mayor.
