I would like to thank everyone for your continued support and encouragement.

Cheers Susan Feniak

Inspired….”Crescendo”.

Plus my 2024 FCA badge!
“Crescendo”

Yes, once again the ocean has inspired me. I thoroughly enjoyed playing with my brushes and paint for this one. My imagination was in play as well.

It came to me. I think the perfect title for this one is “Crescendo”. What do you think?

The above photos are in sequence. From a blank canvas, not shown, to the completed creation. A mountainous break. Perhaps my hours of watching the breaks in Ixtapa helped inspire this one.

I have also included my official 2024 Federation of Canadian Artists badge.

“Let Fly”

Let Fly

After several paintings in a row that were time consuming and detail oriented I decided to let fly with a pallet knife and paints.

This painting is the result. I had fun smearing and spreading paint around the canvas. Creating lots of texture. It was a much needed change.

“Pond Beauties”

“Pond Beauties”

Here they are! The latest painting from Susan’s easel. “Pond Beauties”. I hope you like them.

It has a name….

“Woodland Stroll”

Until now my latest painting was nameless. With my husband’s help we’ve given it the title of….drum roll…. “Woodland Stroll”.

Hope you like it.

Finished?

No title

The latest painting is now drying on my easel. What do you think? Are there enough trees for you? There certainly was for me! Ha ha!! There may be a few more tweaks as I live with it. And eventually I need to come up with a title.  Unless of course you the viewers have some suggestions.

The painting is based on another favorite place of mine, the Sicamous Nature Trail. It’s between seasons,  late summer early fall. Leaves are changing colour, trees preparing for the next season.

More cards and the start of something big….

You are no bunny until some bunnies love you ❤️
Commission begins WIP

Getting my groove back, see previous post, involved starting with small things like my “one of a kind” cards. After making about a dozen cards I felt it was time or perhaps I was ready to work on something bigger. Silly me jumped right into a commission that was ordered a month or two ago. I don’t know about my fellow artists thoughts on commissions but I put my heart and soul into them. I want perfection. It’s got to be exactly what the person who orders it dreams of or envisions. A hard task, that reading and meeting of minds. Upon reflection I should have started with something for me, something fun, something to flex my creative muscles and blow off the cobwebs. All that being said the commission is coming together nicely although slowly. (It’s the last photo) I am up for the challenge or so it seems. So far. Oh and FYI I put my heart and soul into everything I create.

Artist Susan Feniak. The “one of a kind” cards are watercolors and ink on 5″ x 7″ cards. The painting is a WIP acrylic on a 20″ x 20″ gallery canvas.


Just settled down for a long winter’s nap….

I have been busily filling an order for 10 “one of a kind” Christmas cards. So far the little mouse settling down for a long winter’s nap and the happy snowman are my favorite. I will be making more to sell at a local store, Rikki Lou Who’s Gift Emporium. It’s situated downtown Salmon Arm on Alexander St. It’s a Christmas card assembly line and my imagination gets to work overtime. I love it!

My easel hasn’t been busy….

My easel hasn’t been busy this summer but that doesn’t mean that I don’t have any art for you to see and purchase.

All four of these paintings and many more are still available. All are original pieces of art, acrylic on various sizes of gallery ready canvas. Remember I am a recognized artist and that I am an active member of The Federation of Canadian Artists.

More “one of a kind”…

🔴 sold

More “one of kind” cards! They seem to be what I enjoy creating the most these days. Perhaps it’s the lack of venues to sell my bigger paintings? Or perhaps it’s because small is easier for me? Or perhaps it’s all I feel like doing at the moment. Regardless I hope you enjoy my mini pieces of original art.
