Penelope's cover embraced the artistic aspect of her personality by having her lay on top of a painting and pose as a literal work of art.

She rested atop a can of spilt red paint while holding onto a giant paintbrush with her ombre-toned hair falling behind and her shoes, with roses on the heels, laying beside her.
