Virgil Penner is known for his ink drawings of homes and buildings with architectural perspective. Since retiring, he has focused on acrylic landscape paintings. Virgil studied art under Marie Orr for four years at Newton High School and in college.  His paintings are bright and colorful. He constructs his paintings from memory, as he does not paint on location or from photographs. By doing this, he feels he can develop balance and movement in his paintings.
