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.

“Pond Beauties”

“Pond Beauties”

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.

Process for new painting ….

I am making progress on my latest painting. These are photos of my process.  FYI I start with a totally blank, white, pristine canvas. Sometimes that is daunting in of itself. I seem to be detail oriented these days. Not to mention enjoying creating trees and embracing nature.

Enjoy the sneak peak. I will reveal the painting when I think that I am finished.

My easel hasn’t been busy….

Shuswap Serenity
Daffodilicious
Mara Twilight
Sunny Disposition

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.

Daffodelicious

“Daffodelicious”

My latest painting has a title. The concensus was a variation on Daffodilicious, Daffodilushious etc. so I settled on Daffodelicious. My great Grandmother’s Daffo-dum-dilies can wait for another time.

Photo 1 Today I completed my first bigger painting in a long time. It felt good. I am happy to be back at my easel.

I would like to thank photographer Mark Schroeder for giving me permission to use his beautiful and inspirational photo of Shuswap Lake. It was the perfect muse to set me back on my artistic journey.

“Shuswap Serenity” Acrylic on an 18″ x 24″ gallery canvas painted on all sides so that no frame is needed. $250.00 cdn

Photo 2 Today was our youngest Grand daughters 11th birthday. This little corgi is the card I made for her. Last summer when she stayed with us for a few days I asked her what would be her favorite dog breed and her response was “corgi”. Grandma enjoyed making this one.

Photos 3 and 4 These two small works will be available at the 44th annual Art Show and Sale in Sicamous on the Canada Day long weekend. They are both original acrylic on canvas board 8″ x 10″. $25.00 cdn

Home and catching up…

Home and getting caught up. I think the laundry is finally done and all the household bookkeeping too. Things do pile up when one is happily enjoying the good life. Now it’s back to reality.

I have missed my art and time spent playing at my easel. It’s time to get back to it! I have so many ideas rumbling around in my wee brain. The Mexican sunshine has inspired me.

In the meantime I still have paintings that need homes. These are photos of just a sampling of what I have available. My art is all original, “one of a kind”, I do not make prints. They are in a variety of sizes and are all acrylic on gallery quality thick canvas.

If you are interested please email me for details at sfeniakart@gmail.com

Thank you.


Blatant self promotion.

Warning! This post is blatant self promotion of the art by me, Susan Feniak. All the paintings in the above two photos are hanging in our house. They could be hanging in yours! I ask, why not give the gift of original art for Christmas?

In this disposable society one should remember art is a forever gift. All of these pieces are original, acrylic on gallery canvas. The painting continues around all the sides of the canvas so no frames are needed.

New art!! “Sunny Disposition”

New art!! So new it’s still drying on my easel and I have just given it a title, “Sunny Disposition”.

It’s something bright and cheerful just for you on what is a rather dull day here in the Shuswap Lake area of British Columbia.

I have included photos of my process and progress. One photo also shows how I finish the sides of every painting I do on a gallery canvas.

Fingers crossed it cheers everyone. I do like it when my art causes smiles.
