New art! A watercolor this time. This is big for me, especially when it comes to working with watercolors. I had a vague idea of what I wanted to create. I didn’t draw anything, I just started to paint. My first of a few mistakes was that I chose the wrong background color. With perseverance and an arsenal of supplies I ended up with this painting as the result. There is everything on there from gouache to Daniel Smith, QoR, Derwent watercolor pencils, watercolor crayons, salt, you name it. At one point I even had my oil pastels out. There came the classic moment, am I done or not? Maybe? I had a blast, especially splattering and playing with a hake brush. Hope it pleases your eye.

#NatureDoodlewash Tenacity!

Even here one must remember to look down and see natures tenacity. The tiniest mauve flowers cling to rock and life and flourish.
For my first #NatureDoodlewash I brushed the dust off my Elegant Writer Calligraphy pens to get the funky colors and swirls of the rock. For the flowers I used watercolour pencil and white Gelly Roll. All on Opus Essentials Sketchbook paper. By Susan Feniak
Thank you to Charlie O’Shields for inviting us along on #NatureDoodlewash
Happy Robbie Burns Day!

Its the middle of the night and I should be sleeping but no. So here I am and it is time for you to meet “Haggis MacBagpipe”. He is here to wish you a Happy Robbie Burns Day!
Way back when, in my high school years, the ‘70s, ugh, I never had any change left in my wallet for buying greeting cards. So I made the cards myself. Out of necessity I invented or created a gaggle of creatures and critters along the way. There were plenty for me to choose from and they were suitable for any occasion. “Haggis MacBagpipe” is a true original expressly for Robbie Burns Day. A card I more then likely presented to my parents January 25th circa 1973. Memories……

These two look as impressed with the fact that it is winter as I am. Grumpy? No matter, it is winter and there is nothing they or I can do about it. Cheer up!! At least they don’t have a dump of snow on them like my cardinals do!
Quick Lets Go South

Time to do some art. Now that is a switch!! Time for art?? Since it is a rather soggy sunless day in these parts I came up with a plan to paint a pair of cardinals. You know, just to get me into a better Christmas frame of mind. One thing led to another and the next thing I knew the cardinals were looking a little too snow bound and frazzled. Ergo, “Quick Lets Go South”!! I like to think the one cardinal is pointing in that direction. It looks to me like he is. Enjoy! Cheers, Susan

#SelfieArt My first

It is the 25th of the month and I am posting a #SelfieArt. I kept it simple this time. Self portraits are out of my comfort zone as are painting pictures of someone else or even animals. So why not accept a challenge? As you can see by this picture I am more complicated then meets the eye!! 🙂
