About the Item

Penny Whent (American, born 1949) "Coming Home III" 2025 Acrylic Paint, Canvas, Stretcher Bars The artist signed the back of the painting. “Coming Home III” by Penny Whent captures the quiet mystery of the night forest in a contemporary post-impressionist style. Deep shades of green and blue define a dense stand of trees, while a glowing moon and lone white bird animate the darkened sky. Textured brushwork and layered color create both depth and atmosphere, balancing serenity with a sense of wonder. Meditative and evocative, this nocturnal landscape draws the viewer into the stillness and beauty of nature. About the Artist: Penny’s artistic journey began in childhood, influenced by her architect‑photographer father in Pacific Grove. Penny is largely self-taught, having explored block printing, watercolor, photography, and drawing before embracing painting. Her art, once a part‑time practice during her years as a paralegal, now flourishes full‑time in her Monterey home studio. Penny translates the landscapes of the Monterey Peninsula, Lake Tahoe, and the Sierra Nevada foothills into post and abstract impressionist canvases that glow with emotive color and expressive still lifes. Her work has been featured in numerous galleries throughout the Monterey Bay area, including Carmel, Pacific Grove, and Big Sur.

Moonlight Phantasy [2021] Original Acrylics on canvas Image size: H:30 cm x W:30 cm Complete Size of Unframed Work: H:30 cm x W:30 cm x D:3.5cm Sold Unframed Please note that insitu images are purely an indication of how a piece may look "Moonlight Phantasy" comes from a lovely wood near my home in the High Peak. When the moon is full you can walk in the evening and it feels almost as light as day. The wood is quiet with dark tones of the trees creating shadows in the pale moonlight. An original artwork, one of a kind, this painting has been created with high quality acrylic paints on deep edged canvas. I begin with observation of the place making notes and taking photographs to work from in the studio. From these beginnings I work intuitively, painting some base layers with a brush and then impasto techniques layer on layer applied with a palette knife. Harnessing optical mixing techniques employed by the impressionists and some of the methods of the old masters such as scumbling and glazing. I continue working until the painting reaches a natural conclusion. The result is a contemporary painting, which lies somewhere between abstraction and realism. The painting continues round the sides, a frame is not needed and it is ready to hang. Amanda Horvath...
