All about Judith Webb

My love of art stems from my family.
My grandmother did some incredible embroidery, exquisite table cloths, and fire screens, were just a few of the examples which have been handed down as beautiful family heir looms. She had an eye for colour; blending and shading her silks just as an artist does with a palette of paints.
My father was a skilled carpenter.
He also had a talent for watercolours, and helped me to understand and see objects as they really are, teaching me the tonal values of using a graphite pencil in sketching .
I enjoyed a career in hairdressing, and was fortunate to be encouraged to enter hairdressing competitions in which hair colouring played a vital part.
I spent some time in both Canada and the America, it was whilst there that I was introduced to oil painting. The scenery around the Canadian lakes is awesome in the fall, a riot of colours so rich I spent many an hour in a lakeside cottage learning to use oils for the first time.
On our return to England I was to open my own hairdressing salon, and made good use of the wall space to display my paintings.
I now have my own gallery.
I have exhibited paintings in London, as well as local art galleries.
In my gallery are traditional paintings as well abstract art. A variety of genre such as sunsets, landscapes, flowers, and a few portraits.
