Mission accomplished! My first painting and commission of 2024 completed. For me it’s better late than never. I haven’t painted a real painting in months. I was beginning to think and worry that I had lost my touch. I had certainly lost the urge. Happily I discovered none of the above had actually happened. Apparently I just needed a break.
“Haven Point Memory” is a commissioned painting. Am I ever glad this opportunity was provided. The subject was perfect for me at this time. I needed an escape from all the stuff life, or rather a death, has thrown my way. Otherwise I may still be floundering in dither land. More simply put I needed to paint. And I needed a reason. Thankfully opportunity struck. Haven Point on Shuswap Lake holds many fond memories for me and many of our friends. Not to mention the person who will eventually receive this painting as a gift. The cabin and it’s surroundings provide a serene, cool and calm place to recoup and regroup. Perfection.

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.

Happy Easter

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
My easel hasn’t been busy….

My easel hasn’t been busy this summer but that doesn’t mean that I don’t have any art for you to see and purchase.
All four of these paintings and many more are still available. All are original pieces of art, acrylic on various sizes of gallery ready canvas. Remember I am a recognized artist and that I am an active member of The Federation of Canadian Artists.

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.

My latest painting has a title. The concensus was a variation on Daffodilicious, Daffodilushious etc. so I settled on Daffodelicious. My great Grandmother’s Daffo-dum-dilies can wait for another time.

Drying on my easel, new art. As you can tell by the subject matter I started this one months ago. At the time I lost interest in it. What can I say? I started several paintings and didn’t finish any of them. It happens. Now I am back on both creative feet and ready to finish what I started.
Now it’s up to you and me to give this painting a title. “Daffo-dum-dilies”, or “Daffodilicious”. My great grandmother used to call daffodils Daffo-dum-dilies. My husband suggested Daffodilicious.

Photo 1 Today I completed my first bigger painting in a long time. It felt good. I am happy to be back at my easel.
I would like to thank photographer Mark Schroeder for giving me permission to use his beautiful and inspirational photo of Shuswap Lake. It was the perfect muse to set me back on my artistic journey.

Photo 2 Today was our youngest Grand daughters 11th birthday. This little corgi is the card I made for her. Last summer when she stayed with us for a few days I asked her what would be her favorite dog breed and her response was “corgi”. Grandma enjoyed making this one.
Photos 3 and 4 These two small works will be available at the 44th annual Art Show and Sale in Sicamous on the Canada Day long weekend. They are both original acrylic on canvas board 8″ x 10″. $25.00 cdn
