Acrylic on canvas, 2025, 13 × 19 cm (5 × 7.5 in)
It’s late, the rain has stopped, and the town is quiet—except for the warm neon glow of the Blue Bonnet Café sign, still open, still welcoming. You can almost feel the sticky night air and hear the hum of a distant car passing through. There’s a sense of calm here, of small-town stillness, of places that don’t rush to change. Rod Penner captures that fleeting nighttime atmosphere with astonishing control and intimacy, turning a modest roadside scene into something luminous and unforgettable.
