“Spring’s Bounty” and “Tulip Glow” both got frames this weekend. I am fortunate to have a great friend who is happy to build frames for my art. I think she did a fantastic job. I think both paintings needed the rustic barn board look. Being a watercolor Spring’s Bounty is under anti glare glass. Don’t ask my husband how much that cost. Oops. Always get a price before ordering. Just saying. Both pieces are original and available for sale. You can see them and pricing in previous posts.
Artist Susan Feniak. If you want to contact me about my art please email sfeniakart@gmail.com I do not respond to scam or spam emails. I have gotten too many of those nasty emails. I am saddened by people who have nothing better to with their time than try to scam or cheat people out of their money and work.

New art! “Spring’s Bounty” A watercolor this time. This is big for me, especially when it comes to working with watercolors. I had a vague idea of what I wanted to create. I didn’t draw anything, I just started to paint. My first of a few mistakes was that I chose the wrong background color. With perseverance and an arsenal of supplies I ended up with this painting as the result. There is everything on there from gouache to Daniel Smith, QoR, Derwent watercolor pencils, watercolor crayons, salt, you name it. At one point I even had my oil pastels out. There came the classic moment, am I done or not? Maybe? I had a blast, especially splattering and playing with a hake brush. Hope it pleases your eye.

#NatureDoodlewash Sand Dollar

No we are not going to the Caribbean today. Instead we are going to a beach on the west coast of British Columbia. There is lots to see here too. Natures beauty abounds. Perchance we will come across a sand dollar. A sand dollar is a burrowing form of a flat sea urchin. Did you know if you find one they are good luck? Today we have come across one that has washed up along the shore and has turned white. A live sand dollar will be darker, brownish black or purple. So we can pick this one up and take it home. A lovely memory from our walk today.

I inspect all my flowers and shrubs and make sure they are thriving in this heat wave. To my great joy and wonder a butterfly stops by for a visit. Flitting from flower to bud. Hardly stopping long enough for me to see its shape and colors. How can I remember how to draw that? If only my butterfly bush had survived the winter, then maybe my visitor would have stayed longer.

Even here one must remember to look down and see natures tenacity. The tiniest mauve flowers cling to rock and life and flourish.
For my first #NatureDoodlewash I brushed the dust off my Elegant Writer Calligraphy pens to get the funky colors and swirls of the rock. For the flowers I used watercolour pencil and white Gelly Roll. All on Opus Essentials Sketchbook paper. By Susan Feniak

#SelfieArt Susan at Work!
Posted: January 24, 2016 Filed under: #SelfieArt, Sketch book, Sketches/Doodles, Uncategorized, Water color pencils | Tags: #SelfieArt, sketch book, Sketches/Doodles, water colour pencils 11 Commentsoriginal sketch by Susan Feniak ,water colour pencils on paper. It will be the 25th day of the month tomorrow and time for #SelfieArt. Since I haven’t heard or read otherwise I am assuming it is that time again. I will be hard at work tomorrow so I thought it best to post my attempt today. It is a very quick sketch of me at my desk. Because my office/studio is in our basement I have surrounded myself by favourite art, pictures, photos, antique plates and a bulletin board along with everything else that is colourful and enjoyable to me. It all makes for a more pleasant working environment. Much better then just a computer screen, calculator, printer/scanner, files, papers, and other paraphernalia that a bookkeeper needs. Oops I better adjust all the paintings that have gotten crooked! Even the 2016 Calendar isn’t hanging straight! Oh and for those not in the know, January 25th is also Robbie Burns Day!!
