“Hairy Beasty” #WorldWatercolorGroup original art by Susan Feniak. Holbein Artists Water Colour on Strathmore 140lb Cold Press 11″ x 15″ paper. I also used my Faber-Castell PITT artist pens and white GellyRoll pen. Pretty sure I want to get myself some more colors of GellyRoll. A beige would look better then white in this particular painting. I am inspired by this highlander. Most likely because I love all things Scottish. Hope you have a grand week. Cheers! PEACE

“Lighthouse” #WorldWatercolorGroup The prompt for September 7. This is Stoer Lighthouse. Situated on Stoer Head north of Lochinver in North West Scotland. Dating from the 1870’s. I painted this from a photo I took while at the lighthouse about ten years ago. It was a blustery day and the clouds lay wet and low over the sea. The views and surrounding coastline are spectacular.

National Tartan Day #doodlewashaday

Sorry Charlie but I opted for Tartan. Since my ancestors are mainly from Scotland and Ireland and I have been to Scotland three times I have a bit of an affinity with tartans. Here I have doodlewashed two of my ancestral Clan MacLeod tartans, MacLeod of Harris and MacLeod of Lewis and Raasay. My favourite would be MacLeod of Skye. I could go on about Scotland but I will spare you.

Hope you are having as much fun following along as I am doing a #doodlewashaday Visit Charlie O’Shields at doodlewash.wordpress.com he is the instigator of this. He might just convince you to doodlewash!!
A Busy Highland Tarmac

Its been awhile since I last visited the Highlands of Scotland but I do remember the sheep lining the roads. They would sedately munch beside the tarmac and watch the few vehicles roll on by. We as tourists had to snap a few photos before moving along. Perhaps all the rain here today reminded me of my ancestral home. I have nothing but fond memories of Scotland and my times spent there. I will gladly visit again one day. Hope you enjoy my quick sketch of some fun memories.
Cheers, Susan Feniak

Bridge at Inveraray

Scotland. Another muse? After being to Scotland three times this scene is a particular favorite of mine. My third attempt at painting it! Hopefully I have been more successful capturing the essence of Scotland and Inveraray with this version then I did with my first two attempts. I will admit that perhaps I tackled the first two a tad early for a beginner. I may just post a comparison sometime to prove my point.
This is a bigger then usual canvas for me and I took my time. A lot of time! The bridge does indeed have that blue tinge to it.
Now I better get back to reality and work!
As always your comments are welcome. This painting is for sale although you may have to wrestle it out of my hands! That being said my husband would probably gladly give it away!
