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!! 🙂
“Elegant Writer” Lucky Dollar
Posted: August 9, 2015 Filed under: Elegant Writer, Original art, Sketch book, Sketches/Doodles, Susan Feniak art | Tags: Art, Elegant Writer, Just for fun, Local artist, original art 15 CommentsA first attempt at using my new “Elegant Writer” pens by Speedball. Admittedly an experiment. I do believe I will have a lot of fun with these pens. Thank you to Leslie White of Leslie Paints and Carol King for sharing their ideas and teaching new techniques.

Even More Fun!

Lucky me or is that lucky you? The Pond Iris are in full bloom in my pond at the moment. How appropriate! “Pond Iris” original art by Susan Feniak Staedtler Watercolour Pencils on Opus Essentials Sketchbook 8.5”x 11” paper. Enjoy!
Having More Fun!

The first is a busy Front Street scene from Caye Caulker Belize. All the roads on Caye Caulker are of beautiful compact white sand. If a person stops and looks at where they are walking they will see sea shells and bits of coral mixed in with the sand. I may have gotten carried away with the shade from the palm trees making that white sand disappear. It is a quick sketch with mixed results, right? The other sketch is strictly from my imagination. A bit idyllic I would say. “A Busy Front Street” is Staedtler Watercolour Pencils on Canson Mixed Media 7”x10” paper. “Small Island” is Staedtler Watercolour Pencils on Opus Essentials Sketchbook 8 1/2” x 11” paper. Both original art by Susan Feniak
p.s. The only pavement we saw while on Caye Caulker was the airport runway. No need for roads when the biggest mode of transportation are two wheeled bikes, golf carts or your very own two feet. Bliss.
Prizes to paintings

She gave me an awesome prize! A set of Staedtler Watercolour Pencils!! Although I was sorry to see her leave I couldn’t wait to start playing with the new pencils. So here you are Kathy, the first of many paintings rendered with my new watercolour pencils. Thank you very much.
The reference photo is one I took of my own magnolia tree this spring. Staedtler Watercolour Pencils on Canson Mix Media 7”x10” paper. Perhaps now I can venture onto bigger paper.
And, thank you Kathy for the much needed laughter!!
Given to a good home!

“Doink” the Killdeer chick was matted, framed and given away as a birthday present. Since the recipient was one of the couple who encouraged me to paint Killdeer chicks in the first place I thought she should have at least one of them. I do know Doink has gone to an appreciative home. Cheers, Susan
