Description: "Harper's Ferry"ORIGINAL PASTEL PAINTINGOF THE TOWN OF HARPER'S FERRY, WEST VIRGINIA "Harper's Ferry" is an original pastel painting by Jan Ponder, an accomplished artist who has worked in photography, encaustic, and pastels for many years. Ms Ponder's works of this size typically sell in the $75-$450 range, unframed. This is a painting created from a photo I took while driving through Harper's Ferry, West Virginia-- about 90 minutes from where I live, just outside of Washington, DC. Such a picturesque town, right out of a post card! Pastel painting on paperSize: 11"H x 17"WYear created: 2021Signed by the artist Your original pastel painting is ready to frame. Approximately 1/4" of the paper will be hidden by the edge of the frame unless you decide to dry mount onto another board or mat for a "floating" effect. Your framer should be able to advise you. The painting will ship flat, sandwiched between two pieces of rigid foam core or cardboard, covered with glassene (tracing paper), then wrapped for mailing via USPS Priority Mail. Here are comments from two recent ebay buyers of my art: Just a short note to say how totally delighted I am with this piece. I paint myself, and admire the work of other artists. This is so exquisite. Thank-you so very much for creating this masterwork. I am honored to add it to my collection of master artists. Kind Regards. — C.O. I just wanted to let you know that I received my ABSOLUTELY STUNNING pictures today and absolutely LOVE THEM!!! They are truly exquisite! You certainly have such a tremendous talent! I am so thrilled with them both. ... I just love the pictures! The colors are so vibrant, just so amazing in person. In addition, I plan to have them both professionally framed to enhance their beauty! ... It has been such a pleasure to purchase from you! I wish you the best always! You deserve it! Kindest Regards — K JAN PONDER - SELF PORTRAIT About Me You're never too old to enhance your life with art. I was 73 when I fell in love with photography and all its aspects. I joined two different photography clubs and for 7 years went on field trips and excursions all over the US and around the world photographing the landscapes, flora, and more, of the many places I visited. I studied, worked hard, and entered competitions all over Northern Virginia winning multiple awards and acceptance into juried exhibitions and shows. Along this journey I discovered something new: encaustic. The word means to burn in. Technically, it is painting with hot wax. I was intrigued with the dimensional effect one could achieve. For the past three years I have been painting with pastels along with encaustic and sometimes combining the two. I have traveled around the country to learn from master artists of encaustic and pastel painting. As I continue learning and working on variations in those media, I also lecture and give demonstrations myself to aspiring and practicing artists. In 2018 I was very successful with my pastels. One was accepted into an international show at Gallery Underground in Crystal City, Virginia. I was also juried into The Art League gallery at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, Virginia six times, winning Honorable Mention for "Winter Ride" in an exhibit juried by Fidencio Fifield-Perez--which then sold at the show. My pastel "Meadowlark Fall Day" was chosen for the 2018 town of Vienna calendar and another, "Going Home" was chosen for the 2019 version. In 2019 I had pieces accepted into the Treasury of Art show at the Vienna Arts Society, The Art League show (three separate times), the Labor Day Art Show at Glen Echo Park, and I recently won the "Best in Show" award at the Torpedo Factory's 10th Annual March150 Special Exhibition at the Target Gallery, with a piece called "The Traveler." I am a member of both Vienna Art Society and The Art League Gallery at the Torpedo Factory Art Center. I really love doing this--it keeps me young!
