I think that this might just be my favourite mural from Mr Penfold to date. I like everything about it. The proportions seem to work really well, the colours, the balance the designs and the shadows come together perfectly in this bright abstract piece.

Because Mr Penfold generally works to commissions, we don’t get to see nearly enough of his distinctive brand of abstract work on the streets, but for him to do so would probably erode his strong commercial brand. I really love this piece.

When it’s in your head

there is nothing you can do

fish and chips it is.

Each day like the last

opportunities becalmed

Late afternoon sun

warms damp lawns and flower beds

fine smells of the earth
