“Heartsease” has received some more revisions. I am particularly fussy about putting this view onto canvas. It is, after all, our favorite view of Mara Lake BC. I am now happy with what I see. And feel that Heartsease doesn’t need anymore tweaks or revisions. All ready for your viewing enjoyment.
Speaking of revisions, “Ebb and Flow” also got a few more tweaks or highlights. It will be ready for varnishing soon. In the meantime it’s ready for everyone’s visual enjoyment.
Heartsease is acrylic on a 20″ x 24″ gallery wrapped canvas. Asking $350.00 cdn plus shipping.
Ebb and Flow is acrylic on a 24″ x 24″ gallery wrapped canvas. Asking $400.00 cdn plus shipping. If either get framed they will have to be priced accordingly.

“Heartsease”

The latest revision has a title, “Heartsease”. Our much loved view of Mara Lake BC. Tranquility. This painting was previously named Mara Twilight. The lighting of that painting was indeed twilight. I prefer showing Mara on a bright sunny day. Those of us fortunate enough to enjoy its beauty are very much aware that storms can stir Mara up into a frenzy of wild waves and whitecaps. That’s reality. It’s far more appealing to remember the idyllic moments.

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.

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

“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.

My latest painting “Hyde to Mara”, is DONE! This painting is based on a photo I took last summer. Lunch at the Hyde Mountain golf course includes this idyllic view of Mara Lake in beautiful British Columbia. Playing golf is not for me but I will gladly enjoy lunch at the golf course just to partake of the views from many vantage points. I have been wanting to capture this particular view on canvas for some time. I hope I have done it some justice.

“Hyde to Mara”. Time for a change from flowers and paint a local scene. Based on a photo I took last summer after the wild fire smoke cleared. The view from Hyde Mountain golf course looking out over Mara Lake in beautiful British Columbia. Remember that this is a work in progress. This is an inspiring view for anyone to enjoy.

I will have four paintings in the show this year along with several of my “one of a kind” hand painted greeting cards. If you are anywhere near Sicamous June 29th thru July 4th, please take the time to pop by and have a look. It’s well worth your time and effort. It is your chance to purchase from and support the many very talented artists and artisans of the Shuswap area. Cheers Susan Feniak

One framed and one named…

My painting “Quietude” needed one of her rustic board frames. I think she did a great job. Many thanks and some wine was involved. THIS PAINTING IS SOLD!
One named: I let my husband make the final decision and he chose “Center Stage” for my latest painting. There were only three votes made and I couldn’t make up my mind. This water lily was inspired by our pond that we used to have. And if I must give more credit I will have to say that an article in the magazine Watercolor Artist, summer 2021 also inspired me to revisit painting a water lily. It’s been awhile. Center Stage is my loosely based acrylic version of a watercolor painting in the article about the artist Brent Funderburk. His work is beautiful.
Cheers Susan Feniak

My first painting of 2021 is in progress on my easel. It’s coming together ever so slowly. The photo reference is my own taken late last summer of our houseboat at beautiful Robert’s Bay on Shuswap Lake. It was an idyllic morning with the lake perfectly calm and flat. Reflections galore! Golden Artist Acrylics on an 18″ x 24″ gallery canvas. When this painting is finally done it’s not going anywhere. It will hang on our living room wall.
