Meet “Mr. Heron”. He is a neighbor of ours at Three Buoys Marina in Sicamous. I probably do a portrait of him once a year. Sometimes more, sometimes none. He inspires me. What can I say? The photos aren’t exactly in the right order but I am pretty sure they will give the gist of my process.
When I come up with a better title you will be the first to know. In the meantime I hope you enjoy meeting Mr. Heron, again. If you have any comments or are interested in owning Mr. Heron, the painting, please feel free to email me at sfeniakart@gmail.com
“Mr. Heron” is acrylic on a 12″ x 24″ gallery canvas. SOLD 🔴 Asking $200.00 cdn plus shipping. Artist Susan Feniak.

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

Let me reintroduce myself. This is me, Susan Feniak.
Artist Statement
Susan Feniak is a self taught Canadian artist who is an “Exhibiting Member”, (formerly known as, “Active Member”), of the prestigious Federation of Canadian Artists.
Susan and her family have lived in the Salmon Arm area of British Columbia since 1969 and she has been painting since 2009.
The beauty of the Shuswap inspires Susan. There are often lakescapes or landscapes of local scenes on her easel. Sometimes floral arrangements, seascapes or whimsical birds and animals will make an appearance. Wherever her vivid imagination takes her.
Susan uses acrylics or watercolours to make her creations. Her “one of a kind” hand painted greeting cards are ever popular.
Susan hopes that her art makes you smile. Her wish is to make this world a better place through art.
************
That is my updated and revised artist statement. Thank you for taking the time to read about me and visiting my website.
Cheers Susan

We have moved to the lake for the next 5 to 6 months. Our home is a 50 foot houseboat on the Shuswap. I look forward to the lazy days of summer. When all the estate matters for my mother have been dealt with. When I can find inspiration and create.
In the meantime…it snowed on the hills overnight and our furnace isn’t working. It is cold and blustery. The houseboat rocking. Getting my fingers to work could be a problem. It will be a stay indoors, try to stay warm, kind of day. Time for art. Get my groove back. A good thing.

I have been having fun creating this series of “Flamazing” cards. Who wouldn’t have fun with flamingos? They are flippin’ flamazing! I hope my silly sense of humor and creativity has made you smile. Although light hearted these cards do carry a message. Just sayin’

Lately I have not been doing much art work. Yesterday I decided to make some time and create something. The results are the two, “one of a kind” cards shown here. I always seem to have fun creating my cards. If nothing else they are whimsical. They are also mini pieces of original art that you can keep and frame or send to someone for a special occasion.

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.

Photo 1 Today I completed my first bigger painting in a long time. It felt good. I am happy to be back at my easel.
I would like to thank photographer Mark Schroeder for giving me permission to use his beautiful and inspirational photo of Shuswap Lake. It was the perfect muse to set me back on my artistic journey.

Photo 2 Today was our youngest Grand daughters 11th birthday. This little corgi is the card I made for her. Last summer when she stayed with us for a few days I asked her what would be her favorite dog breed and her response was “corgi”. Grandma enjoyed making this one.
Photos 3 and 4 These two small works will be available at the 44th annual Art Show and Sale in Sicamous on the Canada Day long weekend. They are both original acrylic on canvas board 8″ x 10″. $25.00 cdn
