Barrington Watson reveals his portrait of US Ambassador

US AMBASSADOR HER EXCELLENCY Brenda LaGrange Johnson was the subject of Jamaica’s Master painter Barrington Watson earlier this year. The portrait was revealed to a welcoming and very appreciative audience at the Gallery Barrington, Hope Road in February.

No doubt the master painter demonstrated that he’s still got the talent and from the proof of this pudding it would appear that painting his favourite subjects … women… keeps him young.
