Winterized

Rarely do we have a winter day that inspires me to paint a snowy scene. But the other day we had a stellar one. Unlike most days in our neck of the woods it was sun filled, bright and crisp. There was a snowfall the previous night and then the temperature plummeted. Leaving behind a thick intact layer of snow on all the trees. This could be our yard or just over there…… It was a beautiful scene. Happy New Year! This is the first painting of 2015. Here is hoping for a productive year.
Cheers, Susan Feniak

It is now safe for me to announce that this painting was given to my Mother as a Christmas present this year. Mother didn’t have a painting of mine so I guess that was past due!

“A Birds Eye View”

A bit of whimsy for all of you and my imagination at work. Picture if you will a grassy field smattered with wild flowers. Countless birds happily singing and flitting about. This painting is how that field would look threw the eye of a bird. Or as I imagine it would. Hopefully you can picture this bright sunny day too. As you may be able to tell I am thinking of sun filled days and missing the colors, sounds, smells and warmth of them. A happy place!
Cheers, Susan Feniak
Another in progress

See me smile? But due to another sleepless night. (Being sleepless is just me being me.) I came up with an idea for a new painting. Since I didn’t feel well enough equipped to attempt much of anything else today I decided to put said idea onto canvas. This is the biggest canvas I have tackle in a while and did I ever have fun with my brushes and paints. Almost enough to make me forget all about the sleepless night! There is a lot more left to do but the painting is of the world as a bird might see it. A Birds Eye View.

Race Rocks Lighthouse
Posted: November 30, 2014 Filed under: Original art, Seaside, Sketch book, Sketches/Doodles, Water color pencils, Watercolors | Tags: Lighthouses, original art, Seaside, sketch book, water color pencils, water colors 6 CommentsOriginal art by Susan Feniak. Holbein Water Colors, Derwent Water Color Pencils, Pigma Ink on Opus Essentials Sketch Book. Several weeks ago a close friend gave me a funky frame that screamed driftwood and beach to me. I had to come up with an idea that was all about the ocean or beach. Ergo a lighthouse painting. A first for me. But from the kelp beds in the foreground, the Seals sunning on the rocks along with the plethora of Cormorants I love this scene. Anyone that knows the west coast of British Columbia knows this lighthouse. I hope I have captured it. There was special attention paid to the clouds but again getting a good photo of one of my paintings has stymied me. Paintings behind glass harder yet!! Hope you like it!

Derwent Water Color Pencils, Holbein Water Colors, Pigma Ink on Opus Essential Sketch Book paper.
These chilly days of November give me a few more hours to spend drawing and experimenting with my water colors. This time I played with splattering the paint. It is rather fun. I hope you like my Red Cardinal in the snow.

Derwent water color pencils and Pigma ink on Opus Essential Sketch Book A favourite time of year is on the way so my thoughts are starting to turn to all things Christmas. To me Christmas time is the one high point of winter. Crisp, cool, sun filled days are few and far between so they are very much enjoyed as well. Today is such a day. I will be sure to go for a walk and point my sun starved face toward the orb in the sky!
