"Pond of Tranquillity is a truly beautiful piece that brings an immediate sense of calm into the room. From the moment I saw it, I felt drawn in by the softness of the colours and the quiet atmosphere it creates.

There is something deeply peaceful about it, as though it gently slows everything down and allows you to pause for a moment. The colour palette is especially soothing, with each tone working in harmony to create a feel that never overwhelms. It is the kind of artwork you can look at to bring your body to a place of ease and stillness.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have this piece in my home. It is not just something to look at, but something to experience.

Pond of Tranquillity lives up to its name in every way, and it has become a part of my space that I truly value.One of the greatest joys as an artist is hearing how a painting lives once it leaves the studio. Flame recently shared these beautiful words about Pond of Tranquillity, now in its new home".

“We couldn’t be happier with our commissioned painting from Penelope. From the very beginning, she took the time to truly listen and understand the sentimental elements we wanted included, and the final piece is beyond anything we could have imagined.

The ocean scene is breathtaking. Every element is filled with detail and captures not only the beauty of the beach, but also the deep personal meaning it holds for us. Each detail feels intentional and thoughtful, weaving together artistry and emotion in a way that makes this piece incredibly special.

It is more than just a painting — it’s something we will treasure forever. We are so grateful for the care, talent and heart that went into creating it.

“Purchasing a painting by Penelope was a wonderful experience. From our first conversation she took the time to share the story behind the work, and her passion for painting is evident in every detail.

The finished piece has a beautiful sense of atmosphere and light. It feels deeply personal to us and brings a calm presence into our home every time we see it.

We are absolutely delighted with the painting.”

"There is an acute eye at work behind the detail, clarity and accuracy in Penelope's painting. In many of these paintings there is a bold return to beauty, a counterpoint to some of the brutal, hard-edged work supposedly reflecting our current society. We need this. In other work there is nature in its glory, perfectly recorded, yet with Penelope's interpretation. One such is "Shag on A Rock@...a painting we bought. Our home is festooned with art in various forms. Yet this painting is the one people notice first...and comment its dynamism. Such an active still life! Great work from a real talent."
