Among the works of Master Painter Barrington Watson, patron of the Foundation is the portrait of US Ambassador Her Excellency Brenda LaGrange Johnson, done ealy 2009. A very appreciative audience gasped as one, at its revealing 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.

For the event Jamaica’s former Prime Minister Honourable Percival James Patterson and Spanish Ambassador to Jamaica, His Excellency Jesus daSilva were among the appreciative and honoured guests.
