We are home! Actually we’ve been back in Canada for ten days now. It’s been a busy ten days.
The photos? There’s a couple of paintings that I have available. Our houseboat that we’re looking forward to spending the summer months on. Took a few minutes for myself and got a haircut. And my 2025 Federation of Canadian Artists badge.
Hopefully I’ll get time to spend time at my easel soon. And time to spend getting caught up here.
Hope everyone had a good winter. I am embracing the Canadian spring weather. A slight change from the Mexican sunshine and warmth.
Cheers Susan
A revision and a reminder…

This time I have a revision of a painting that I did back in 2018 to share with you. I was never particularly happy with “Raven Trail Autumn” but at the time I decided to leave it alone. Every time I looked at it I wanted to do something to it but was never sure what. The boardwalk bothered me and the lake in the distance did too. So this week I finally put Raven Trail Autumn back on my easel and had a go at changing it. Hopefully for the better. As you can see I posted the 2018 version on top and the 2024 revision bellow it.
The reminder is for the upcoming annual July long weekend Art Show and Sale at the Red Barn in Sicamous. Please, if you are in the area, drop by and visit the show. We have a lot of very talented people in our neck of the woods. I will be volunteering at the show daily from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and I will have four of my bigger paintings available along with a table of my smaller paintings and “one of a kind” cards for sale.

Considering that I hadn’t spent any time at my easel since last July. I will have to say that this past month or so has been a productive and creative time for me. I do believe that I got my mojo back! What a relief. And wow what fun I’ve had splashing paint about.
I would like to thank everyone for your continued support and encouragement.
Cheers Susan Feniak

I enjoy creating my critters. These two “one of a kind” cards were dropped off at Rikki Lou Who’s Gift Emporium on Thursday. It’s a lovely shop on Alexander Street downtown Salmon Arm. The owner of the shop likes to carry unique gifts and she supports several local artists. I am grateful for the opportunity. Now if only I could find a venue for some of my bigger paintings.
Artist Susan Feniak. “one of a kind”, watercolor and ink on 4″ x 6″ cards. Mini pieces of original art, keep them or send them as a greeting card suitable for any occasion. Cheers Susan Feniak
Many thanks….

As this year comes to a close I would like to take a moment to thank everyone that supported me in my artistic endeavors. Your continued support is very much appreciated. For me this year has been one of ups and downs. And although I am not one to wish time away I am not sad to see the end of 2022. All that being said I believe that I have managed to create some decent art.
My sincerest wishes to each and everyone of you for a happy, healthy and creative 2023.
Artist Susan Feniak. All these pieces of original art were SOLD 🔴 in 2022 along with countless “one of a kind” greeting cards. I am beyond grateful. Thank you all, again.

Blatant self promotion.

Warning! This post is blatant self promotion of the art by me, Susan Feniak. All the paintings in the above two photos are hanging in our house. They could be hanging in yours! I ask, why not give the gift of original art for Christmas?
In this disposable society one should remember art is a forever gift. All of these pieces are original, acrylic on gallery canvas. The painting continues around all the sides of the canvas so no frames are needed.

I have been creating Christmas cards as fast as I can. These are just a sampling of the ones I have made so far this year. No two are the same, ergo, “one of a kind”. This year my “one of a kind” cards are available for sale at Rikki Lou Who’s Gift Emporium downtown Salmon Arm BC. I am pleased to have this opportunity. Thank you for shopping local and supporting your local small business owners and artisans.
As always I hope my happy quirky critters make you smile.

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.

Recently I have been trying to rebuild my small painting inventory. The first two paintings are 10″ x 10″ acrylic on canvas. Can you tell that I was having fun with my palette knives?
I am pleased to announce that my “one of a kind”, hand painted greeting cards are now available for sale at Rikki Lou Who’s Gift Emporium on Alexander Street downtown Salmon Arm BC. I would like to thank the owner, Rachele for the opportunity and for supporting local artists. There are several photos of my cards above. I dropped off 15 to see how they sell. Fingers crossed. I am excited and looking forward to coming up with some more fun ideas for my cards.
My cards are all 4″ x 6″, hand painted original pieces of art. Artist Susan Feniak
