About the Item

Penny Whent (American, born 1949) "Sycamores at Dusk" 2024 Acrylic Paint, Canvas, Stretcher Bars The artist signed the bottom left of the painting. “Sycamores at Dusk” by Penny Whent evokes the quiet drama of twilight through a contemporary post-impressionist lens. Tall sycamore trunks rise against a darkened ground, their fiery crowns of crimson and amber leaves glowing as if lit from within. Whent’s brushwork heightens the contrast between shadow and light, creating a rhythmic composition that feels both natural and abstract. The result is a painting that captures not only the forest at dusk, but also the atmosphere of transition between day and night. 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.
