The Art of JEFF WEBB P.S.A. oils-pastels-watercolors

"SELF PORTRAIT" pastel on paper 20"x16" (detail) I work only from life, and this piece was done late in the day while looking at the big old mirror that I keep on the wall by my easel. I did it specifically for a faculty exhibition at Nassau Community College.

Welcome to my web-page I have been an artist for as long as I can remember and the passion is still growing. I love to introduce interested minds to the world of visual art and the beautiful world around us,whether it be through my own paintings or in a classroom with art students. Further down on this web page there will be information on how you may become a student in one of my classes and workshops. But first, let me tell you a little about myself and show you some of my paintings.
