Getting my groove back, see previous post, involved starting with small things like my “one of a kind” cards. After making about a dozen cards I felt it was time or perhaps I was ready to work on something bigger. Silly me jumped right into a commission that was ordered a month or two ago. I don’t know about my fellow artists thoughts on commissions but I put my heart and soul into them. I want perfection. It’s got to be exactly what the person who orders it dreams of or envisions. A hard task, that reading and meeting of minds. Upon reflection I should have started with something for me, something fun, something to flex my creative muscles and blow off the cobwebs. All that being said the commission is coming together nicely although slowly. (It’s the last photo) I am up for the challenge or so it seems. So far. Oh and FYI I put my heart and soul into everything I create.
Artist Susan Feniak. The “one of a kind” cards are watercolors and ink on 5″ x 7″ cards. The painting is a WIP acrylic on a 20″ x 20″ gallery canvas.
Getting my groove back…

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’

I have been home from Mexico for ten days now. I apologize for not posting something sooner than this.
You see my dear Mum died while we were away. At the good age of 96, darn near 97. She lived a good long life. Sadly I have to admit it was time for her to leave us. Her life had become more about a lack of quality rather than quantity. I watched her failing for several years and it was difficult to witness. In her younger years she was a strong, vivacious, outgoing woman. Always giving to the community and her church. She managed to out live so many. I miss her.
Anyway I have been busy dealing with estate matters. Anyone who has ever dealt with that will understand what I mean.
I have cleared off my art desk and hope to get back to creating. I have several ideas rumbling around in my head. My fingers are starting to twitch in anticipation.
In the meantime I wish you, my friends and followers a Happy Easter.
Cheers Susan Feniak
Merry Mice…

More “one of a kind” Christmas cards. These 4 and many more are available at Rikki Lou Who’s Gift Emporium downtown Salmon Arm on Alexander Street.

I have been busily filling an order for 10 “one of a kind” Christmas cards. So far the little mouse settling down for a long winter’s nap and the happy snowman are my favorite. I will be making more to sell at a local store, Rikki Lou Who’s Gift Emporium. It’s situated downtown Salmon Arm on Alexander St. It’s a Christmas card assembly line and my imagination gets to work overtime. I love it!

More “one of kind” cards! They seem to be what I enjoy creating the most these days. Perhaps it’s the lack of venues to sell my bigger paintings? Or perhaps it’s because small is easier for me? Or perhaps it’s all I feel like doing at the moment. Regardless I hope you enjoy my mini pieces of original art.

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.
