A little art

I have been making a few Christmas cards. I couldn’t possibly let Christmas go by without making them.

We will be in Mexico for Christmas this year. It will be very different for us. But you know what they say, a change is as good as a rest. It was or is time to change things up. Make new traditions.

All that being said I made cards anyway. I just won’t be sending any. A select few got my 2026 calendar, which I ordered early.

Over the years I have spent hours creating individual cards for our friends and family. Since we receive very few cards in return, it seems sending Christmas cards is becoming a thing of the past. That is rather sad. Sending and receiving the annual greeting was something to look forward to. It was often the only time you would hear from some people.

Traditions change as do we. Time continues to fly.

Enjoy my wintery scenes. I for one will continue to not miss snow.

Mother Love

Mother Love

“Mother Love”. Introducing Fiona and wee Archie. I cannot explain my adoration of heilan coo’s. Especially this year. First there was “Skye”, then “Donal” now this, Mother Love with Fiona and Archie. I was inspired by a photo that I saw on a FB page @lovescotland. I had to paint the love shared between the two, a mother and her calf, portrayed in that photo.

Mother Love is by Susan Feniak. Acrylic on a 24″ x 24″ gallery wrapped canvas. Asking $400 cdn plus shipping. Currently unframed.

Cheers Susan Feniak.

“Summer Heights”

Summer Heights

The newest painting from Susan Feniak’s easel is “Summer Heights”. This painting is inspired by Susan’s walks and ebike rides along the River Front Nature Park in Sicamous BC. A very inspirational place to visit. Especially for Susan. There are huge old cottonwood trees that grow along the trail. They are very tall, ergo the title, “Summer Heights”.  This is not the first time that Susan has captured a scene from this trail.

Garden Visitors

Garden Visitors

Pleased to say this one has 🔴 SOLD! Thank you to the collector, who I know will give it an appreciative home.

New art!! It’s been awhile since enough time was available for me to spend time at my easel. That and I really didn’t feel like it. Then, all of a sudden I got the urge, that must do, can do, feeling that I can’t resist. It felt good.

For lack of a better name I am calling this one “Garden Visitors”. That may be a temporary title. I shall see.

I hope you like it. It’s certainly summery and colourful.

“Donal”

Donal
Skye

Meet “Donal”. Yes, I painted another “heilan coo”. a.k.a. highland cow.  Because of “Skye” and his popularity I was commissioned by the daughter of his purchaser to paint another Skye. Acknowledging that I can’t paint the same thing exactly the same way twice (especially on a smaller scale) I agreed. Donal is the result. I do like the fact that both beasties are completely different characters. That’s the joy of creating.  I also like the fact that both will be hanging in welcoming appreciative homes. Many thanks to the lovers of Donal and Skye.

Artist Susan Feniak. Donal is acrylic on a 16″ x 16″ gallery wrapped canvas. Skye is acrylic on a 24″ x 24″ gallery wrapped canvas.

Now I hope to have time to paint something new and different.


Thank you

Mr Heron 🔴 Sold
Skye 🔴 Sold

Thank you everyone that came to the art show and sale at the Red Barn in Sicamous this past weekend. Because of you it was a success.  Many thanks to all the volunteers that worked hard before, during and after the show.

Although I miss him “Skye” found a new home and so did “Mr Heron”.

Now to start working on new pieces for next year’s show.

Cheers Susan Feniak


Wow!

Wow! Thank you to everyone who came to the first day of the art show and voted for my painting “Skye”! 🔴 We won the first ever people’s choice award at the show. As far as I know this is the first time we’ve held a people’s choice contest. There will be a new winner every day during the show.

The show is still open tomorrow June 29th through July 1st. 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. I will be there from 1 to 4 everyday.

Hope to see you there!

Cheers Susan Feniak

Mr Heron

Coming up soon, THE annual July long weekend art show at the Red Barn Arts Centre in Sicamous.  I am excited to once again be sharing my art with you at the show. If you are in the area please pop by. I will be there from 1 to 4 p.m. daily.

The above paintings will be available along with a new batch of my “one of a kind” greeting cards.

Cheers Susan Feniak


“Skye” is varnished and framed.

“Skye” is varnished and has a frame.  Because of the cost of a frame I have to increase the asking price for “Skye” to $450.00 cdn plus shipping. It’s a white metal floating frame. Measuring 25″ to outside edges. I can still offer “Skye” at the original price of $350.00 without the frame.
