Merry Christmas!
“May your season be merry and bright.”
Sadly because of the Canada post strike our 2024 Christmas cards couldn’t be sent this year. Posting on social media will have to suffice.
Cheers, Susan Feniak

2024 paintings part 2! Please see my previous post for part 1 and the explanation for why I had to make parts 1 and 2!
I think that I produced a lot of art work in 2024. I know many of you create a lot more than I but considering my artistic year didn’t start until late March at the earliest, 17 larger pieces seems a fair amount.
Remember that I also created countless of my “one of a kind” cards too. I haven’t included photos of them or my smaller pieces.
At this time I would like to thank you, my friends, followers and collectors for your continued support. It helps me to know that what I create is indeed appreciated. Your support helps me to continue on this journey of mine.
Cheers Susan Feniak

I had a late start in 2024. I didn’t start spending time at my easel until late March, early April. Taking that into account I think that I produced a lot of art this year. These are only the first 9 of 17 bigger pieces. Since WordPress limited the amount of photos I could post I will have to make a part 2.
There were also countless “one of a kind” cards created too. Sadly because of the Canada Post strike and the lack of a venue this year I did not make many Christmas cards. There is always next year.
Thank you to all that supported me this year. I really do appreciate your continued support. My artistic endeavors and journey can continue thanks to you.
Cheers, Susan Feniak

“Heartsease” has received some more revisions. I am particularly fussy about putting this view onto canvas. It is, after all, our favorite view of Mara Lake BC. I am now happy with what I see. And feel that Heartsease doesn’t need anymore tweaks or revisions. All ready for your viewing enjoyment.
Speaking of revisions, “Ebb and Flow” also got a few more tweaks or highlights. It will be ready for varnishing soon. In the meantime it’s ready for everyone’s visual enjoyment.
Heartsease is acrylic on a 20″ x 24″ gallery wrapped canvas. Asking $350.00 cdn plus shipping.
Ebb and Flow is acrylic on a 24″ x 24″ gallery wrapped canvas. Asking $400.00 cdn plus shipping. If either get framed they will have to be priced accordingly.

The latest revision has a title, “Heartsease”. Our much loved view of Mara Lake BC. Tranquility. This painting was previously named Mara Twilight. The lighting of that painting was indeed twilight. I prefer showing Mara on a bright sunny day. Those of us fortunate enough to enjoy its beauty are very much aware that storms can stir Mara up into a frenzy of wild waves and whitecaps. That’s reality. It’s far more appealing to remember the idyllic moments.

On a cold snowy day…

It’s the first real cold snowy day we’ve had so far this fall. So what does an artist do? Paint a bright sunny day!
I painted Mara Twilight back in 2022. It’s moved from wall to wall at our house. It’s featured on my 2024 calendar this month but it’s had no real interest or inquiries. I decided it needed brightening up. So I nixed the darkness of twilight and changed it to a bright sunny day. It’s much the same as my painting “Mara Muse”. I miss that painting so this one may replace it.
Not only did I totally change the painting I will have to change the title too. Any suggestions?

Ebb and Flow has seen a lot of changes over the last couple of days. I am happier with this new version. So far. I am fickle. There could possibly be a few more tweaks but for now I am saying “done”. To see this painting pre revision please visit my previous post.
If you like the new version or even if you don’t feel free to let me know. Constructive criticism is welcome.

Another revision is in progress on my easel. I painted the original in October of 2021. Shortly after my dear brother died. I was never completely happy with the original painting. Considering the circumstances no one, including myself, should be surprised by that. At the time I thought that I would live with the painting for awhile, think on it. I did manage to give it a title, “Ebb andFlow”. Lately I have been giving this painting and another one a great deal of thought. No better time than the present to have a go at revising and hopefully improving it.
My husband says the sand bar looks like it’s pushing the water. Oh oh. That doesn’t sound good. It’s supposed to be the other way around with the water pushing and surrounding the sand bar. What do you think? All that being said the painting/revision is still a work in progress. Time will tell…..

Floral Extravaganza

I am calling my latest painting, Floral Extravaganza, done! Since it’s still drying some more tweaking could happen. In my previous blog I shared the beginning of this painting. Days and hours of creating later here it is. If only an artist got paid by the hour!
Normally I don’t try to match or do art specifically to match a room, or furniture, or bedding. My rule of thumb is if you love it will work. But the new bedding was calling me to create Floral Extravaganza.
Today my husband and I quietly celebrated our 49th wedding anniversary. We both can’t believe it’s been 49 years. Time truly does fly. Love does conquer all of life’s foibles.
