Still Water, Sage

Layers of soft sage, slate and pale blush wash across the canvas, each hand-painted form placed with quiet intention. At 1 metre square, this is an intimate work, but no less present for its size. The texture catches the light gently, giving the piece a stillness that feels earned.

Works equally well as a standalone piece or paired with a larger work. Suited to a bedroom, study, bathroom or any space that benefits from calm, considered colour.

Original work. Acrylic gel and acrylic on canvas. Ships framed and ready to hang.

I'm Penelope Slaney, known to most as Penny. I create large-format, texture-heavy acrylic paintings built to transform the rooms they live in.

Each piece is hand-built through layers of acrylic gel and acrylic on canvas, a considered, unhurried process that results in surfaces that shift in natural light and carry real physical presence. My work is never rolled or reproduced. Every painting is a single, original work.

I'm drawn to the idea that our surroundings shape how we feel. My paintings are designed to bring warmth, depth and life to a space, versatile enough to sit in almost any room, distinctive enough to define it.

I work from my studio in Australia and ship nationally and internationally. Commissions are open and every commission begins with a conversation about your space, its light, and what you want it to feel like.
