Wahoo!! Can you see me smile? I am very pleased with how “Floral Extravaganza” looks hanging on the wall above the bed. That makes the redecorated bedroom complete.

I am calling my latest painting, Floral Extravaganza, done! Since it’s still drying some more tweaking could happen. In my previous blog I shared the beginning of this painting. Days and hours of creating later here it is. If only an artist got paid by the hour!
Normally I don’t try to match or do art specifically to match a room, or furniture, or bedding. My rule of thumb is if you love it will work. But the new bedding was calling me to create Floral Extravaganza.
Today my husband and I quietly celebrated our 49th wedding anniversary. We both can’t believe it’s been 49 years. Time truly does fly. Love does conquer all of life’s foibles.

2025 Calendars and new art in progress..

My 2025 calendars finally arrived. Long story short the first batch arrived and they were a hot mess covered with ink splotches and smudges. The printers replaced them for me, free of charge. I am very happy with the final results. I do a limited amount as I usually give them as gifts to close friends or family. This year I sold a few but I do have one left. If you are interested please email me at sfeniakart@gmail.com
Recently I bought new bedding. The old bedding had been on our bed since 2015. I loved it, but it was time for new. I bought what I loved again and no doubt it will be on our bed for many years to come. Normally the art I hang in our home is also what I love or it’s favorites of mine/ours. It doesn’t necessarily match furniture or bedding. That being said, the painting above our bed worked with our old bedding, not the new. Ergo there is a fresh painting in progress on my easel. Meant just for us. It is taking me hours to do!!
Remember if you are interested in one of my 2025 calendars please let me know. I only have one left but I can always do another printing.
Cheers Susan

Update, this painting has SOLD. Thank you Gayle and Rick. The making of “Day’s Eye”. From the David Oakes photo to the completed painting.
Thank you again to David for kindly giving me permission to use his beautiful photo.
At one stage of this painting I had to wonder, “What was I thinking?”. There were a lot of petals and a lot of layers. But I persevered and I am very happy that I did.
Thank you for stopping by and having a look.

“Day’s Eye”. This latest painting has been a labor of love. Memories of our youngest son’s life and loss kept me going on this one. I needed an out and the best way for me to accomplish that is paint, to escape. Go to my happy place. For HOURS!! Or wallow, and I don’t do that.
Also, for those of you that haven’t figured it out yet, I love flowers. Once upon a time I was a florist and designer extraordinaire.
For the photo credit I would like to thank, photographer and friend David Oakes. He very kindly gave me permission to use his photo of these glorious daisy’s. Thank you David.

I am pleased to share with you the latest painting from my easel, “Summery Show”.
What other flower, other than perhaps sunflowers, brighten anyone’s flower garden? Rudbeckia of course! Also know as Black Eyed Susan’s.
Here I have enjoyed showing off the beauty of what some would consider an old fashioned garden favorite. In my world they are a standard for any garden. They were always in mine.
This painting is all about the showy blooms. I treated the foliage as a minor player, lacking detail.

Thank you taking the time to read this blog.

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.

Drying on my easel, new art. As you can tell by the subject matter I started this one months ago. At the time I lost interest in it. What can I say? I started several paintings and didn’t finish any of them. It happens. Now I am back on both creative feet and ready to finish what I started.
Now it’s up to you and me to give this painting a title. “Daffo-dum-dilies”, or “Daffodilicious”. My great grandmother used to call daffodils Daffo-dum-dilies. My husband suggested Daffodilicious.

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.

Presenting to you my latest painting, “Floral Wave”! I don’t think any explanation is needed except for this is purely my imagination at work. Having fun splashing acrylics about. I hope you like this happy painting as much as I enjoyed creating it.
