I am a self taught artist,with several classes in high school and jr. college. I started painting in the early sixties and was very successful in selling all of them. I stopped painting in 1974 to raise my four childen with my wife. I started painting again in 2007. I am currently finishing the last of 25 paintings of oils , acrylics and pastels that are 24'x36' or larger to have a show in the near future.
I am also building a web site to show my work w.w.w.steveponting.com. The web site is a work in progress and the paintings will be posted as I learn how to use computers. All my paintings are original freehand works in oils,acrylics and pastels. Some are taken from photographs that my friends or I have photographed or from other talented photographers who have been able to capture those rare moments.I will give all credits necessary to those artists whose photos have contributed to my paintings.
In 1972 I was part of a group of artists who were asked to volunteer painting murals on the inside of the Orange,ca post office I painted a 14'x7' mural of a train crossing a mountain gorge on a trestle.I also did illustrations for writers of short stories.To read more about what I did before 2007 go to www.yikamojavebranch.com and look under instructors [ details].
