About the Item

Penny Whent (American, born 1949) "First Snow" 2021 Acrylic Paint, Canvas, Stretcher Bars The artist signed the bottom left of the painting. “First Snow” by Penny Whent captures the quiet beauty of the changing seasons in a contemporary post-impressionist style. White tree trunks stand tall against a rich green and teal backdrop, while touches of yellow and blue hint at the lingering warmth of autumn beneath a fresh snowfall. Whent’s textured brushwork creates movement and depth, balancing vibrancy with serenity. This luminous landscape reflects both nature’s transition and the artist’s expressive painterly vision. 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.
