It was either that or Bat Appreciation Day. Don’t get me wrong I have absolutely nothing against bats. Its also Haiku Poetry Day. I could muster up a Haiku but having time to illustrate it too? So here you have a cheese board, cheese knife, cheeseball and crackers. Snack time!! Enjoy!

National Orchid Day #doodlewashaday

Here I have doodlewashed a white Phalaenopsis. Being a retired or X florist I used to love working with orchids in bridal bouquets. For many years there was always one growing and blooming in my kitchen. Lately I have noticed orchids have become very popular and I am seeing them every where and in varied colors. Not such a bad thing as they last for ages and make wonderful cut flowers. I hope you are enjoying your weekend! Cheers, Susan

Why wouldn’t I? This happy fellow could make even the grumpiest person smile. They are one of the most endearing creatures and our world is better off because of them. I couldn’t even tell you what other National Day this is. As soon as I saw Dolphin I was done.

National Cobbler Day #doodlewashaday
Posted: April 13, 2016 Filed under: #doodlewashaday, Just for fun, Neocolor Caran D'Ache Water Color Crayons, Neocolors, Sketch book, Sketches/Doodles, Susan Feniak art, Uncategorized | Tags: #doodlewashaday, Just for fun, sketch book, Sketches/Doodles, Susan Feniak Original Art 15 CommentsApril 13th Today is celebrated as National Cobbler Day or Scrabble Day or several others. As you can see I chose Cobbler Day. This old work boot is in some need of a cobbler’s touch. No doubt it is comfortable only to it’s owner and should be repaired. Where does one find a cobbler these days in this disposable world we live in?
If the rumour is true and it is someone’s birthday today may I wish Charlie O’Shields a very happy birthday!! On this most special day of this the month of your birthday!! xx

National Pet Day #doodlewashaday

It is National Pet Day. Over the years we have had several pets, all dogs. Since our dog of 15 years died we haven’t had the heart to get another one. To appease me we put gold fish in our pond and they have been a good source of entertainment. This one we named Spot. But lets face it, one can’t hold and cuddle gold fish nor take them for long enjoyable walks. One day there will be another dog but until then……

First Attempt Using Oil Pastels

Mungyo Oil Pastel for Artists on 9” x 12” Bienfang Canvasette Paper Canvas
This one has been sitting around for awhile whilst I play with my new oil pastels. I have a great deal of respect for those of you that use oils and create such beautiful and stunning pieces of art. I find my acrylics are crisper in appearance but I do kind of like the muted tones one can get with pastels. That being said I had to find an entirely new level of patience working with them. Please do let me know how I did or if you have any tips I would appreciate them. Cheers, Susan

April 8th Today instead of doing a National Day I have drawn a bird for Draw A Bird Day. This youngster is a juvenile Steller’s Jay. I couldn’t resist such a cute fuzzy character. (I plucked the imagine from the internet and have no idea who to give credit to for the photo.) Its been a busy week here at my work desk and easel. Time for a breather. Have yourselves a grand weekend. I am looking forward to seeing all the birdie drawings and posts from my WP friends. Cheers, Susan
Thank you to Kerfe and Nina at https://methodtwomadness.wordpress.com for hosting Draw A Bird Day again this month.

Wahoo!! National Beer Day!! Today I have doodlewashed a tall cool crisp one in a stein for you to enjoy. Or should that be I have drawn you one? Regardless here it is. I must say #doodlewashaday is challenging me both imaginatively and creatively. A good thing. But glass? That is a first for me. How did I do? Got to go, I am thirsty. Cheers, Susan

National Tartan Day #doodlewashaday
Posted: April 6, 2016 Filed under: #doodlewashaday, Just for fun, Neocolor Caran D'Ache Water Color Crayons, Neocolors, Scotland, Sketch book, Sketches/Doodles, Uncategorized | Tags: #doodlewashaday, Just for fun, Neocolor Caran D'Ache, Neocolors, sketch book, Sketches/Doodles 12 CommentsApril 6th brings National Tartan Day, or, and I quote, “National Sorry Charlie Day”. 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.
