I have been home from Mexico for ten days now. I apologize for not posting something sooner than this.
You see my dear Mum died while we were away. At the good age of 96, darn near 97. She lived a good long life. Sadly I have to admit it was time for her to leave us. Her life had become more about a lack of quality rather than quantity. I watched her failing for several years and it was difficult to witness. In her younger years she was a strong, vivacious, outgoing woman. Always giving to the community and her church. She managed to out live so many. I miss her.
Anyway I have been busy dealing with estate matters. Anyone who has ever dealt with that will understand what I mean.
I have cleared off my art desk and hope to get back to creating. I have several ideas rumbling around in my head. My fingers are starting to twitch in anticipation.
In the meantime I wish you, my friends and followers a Happy Easter.
Cheers Susan Feniak
“Sunset on Mara”

Sunset on Mara. This painting has a lot of meaning for me. It is emotionally charged. Firstly it is the first painting since the death of our youngest son. Secondly it is based on a photo that I took the evening after his death. I could see a bird taking flight in the cloud formation. It was a perfect evening and a spectacular sunset. A beautiful memory to have and hold. Ergo it had to be memorialized on canvas by my hands, brushes and imagination.

I am fortunate to have my art. Since I started painting in 2009 it’s always gotten me through the tuff times in life. This week I found solace once again. Like taking small steps everyday to move on I started with small things like cards. I then moved onto a bigger canvas. I will share photos of that when I am done but I am sharing photos of the four cards I made. The cards are now available at Rikki Lou Who’s Gift Emporium downtown Salmon Arm on Alexander St.

I still have lots of paintings available for sale. All anyone needs to do is email me Susan at sfeniakart@gmail.com
I dropped off 6 new “one of a kind” hand painted greeting cards at Rikki Lou Who’s Gift Emporium downtown Salmon Arm on Alexander St today as well.
We have been recovering from or trying to find our way through the grief following the death of our youngest son. Thanks to the love and support of our friends and loved ones we are finding our way.
It is almost time for me to set up my easel and escape into my art….
