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
Revising the revision of the revisions….hahaha

“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.

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?

2025 Calendars and new art in progress..

My 2025 calendars finally arrived. Long story short the first batch arrived and they were a hot mess covered with ink splotches and smudges. The printers replaced them for me, free of charge. I am very happy with the final results. I do a limited amount as I usually give them as gifts to close friends or family. This year I sold a few but I do have one left. If you are interested please email me at sfeniakart@gmail.com
Recently I bought new bedding. The old bedding had been on our bed since 2015. I loved it, but it was time for new. I bought what I loved again and no doubt it will be on our bed for many years to come. Normally the art I hang in our home is also what I love or it’s favorites of mine/ours. It doesn’t necessarily match furniture or bedding. That being said, the painting above our bed worked with our old bedding, not the new. Ergo there is a fresh painting in progress on my easel. Meant just for us. It is taking me hours to do!!
Remember if you are interested in one of my 2025 calendars please let me know. I only have one left but I can always do another printing.
Cheers Susan
The making of “Day’s Eye” 🔴

Update, this painting has SOLD. Thank you Gayle and Rick. The making of “Day’s Eye”. From the David Oakes photo to the completed painting.
Thank you again to David for kindly giving me permission to use his beautiful photo.
At one stage of this painting I had to wonder, “What was I thinking?”. There were a lot of petals and a lot of layers. But I persevered and I am very happy that I did.
Thank you for stopping by and having a look.

It has been some time since my last post. It’s not that I haven’t been creating. I have indeed been painting or planning and gathering ideas. The truth is that I have no idea why I haven’t posted something. Perhaps it’s because I get very little traffic on my website or because I don’t have time. Perhaps I am too busy doing the aforementioned creating, planning and painting. Whatever there are reasons and excuses. These days it seems that time is at a premium for everyone.
I have decided to expand on my “one of a kind” greeting cards and start making “one of a kind” wood coasters. They are all hand painted and everyone is different. Acrylic on approximately 4″ round or square coasters. The raw edge round coasters are a bit smaller. I am varnishing them to protect them from heat and moisture. And testing them to make sure they are protected.
I have also started another painting which when finished will be acrylic on a 20″ x 20″ gallery wrapped canvas. I will give the photo credit to a friend when the painting is complete. I am grateful to that friend for giving me permission to use his beautiful photo.
In the meantime have a fabulous weekend. Cheers Susan
Still keeping busy…

I am still keeping busy creating my “one of a kind” greeting cards. Keeping things simple. Other than puttindg a coat of gesso on a 24″ x 24″ canvas I haven’t spent any time at my easel. Not since coming home from Mexico. I haven’t felt like it. I thought that I had lots of inspiration and was ready to get busy but as soon as I stand at my easel all is lost. Perhaps I have a bit of a block happening? On the other hand I am able to create these cards. A veritable plethora of them. I am having fun with them, they make me smile. That is sufficient, for now.
Artist Susan Feniak. QoR or Windsor Newton watercolors and ink on 4″ x 6″ Strathmore cards. My cards sell for $12 each at Rikki Lou Who’s Gift Emporium downtown Salmon Arm BC. Or contact me at sfeniakart@gmail.com

Upon arriving home from Mexico I discovered that many of my cards for sale at Rikki Lou Who’s Gift Emporium sold! How wonderful! Many thanks to those of you that have bought my cards and supported local business.
I have been busily creating new greeting cards. These seem to have a spring theme to them. What do you think?
I hope to spend time at my easel very soon.
“one of a kind”, cards by artist Susan Feniak are very much one of kind. All are hand painted original pieces of mini art. Watercolor and ink on Strathmore card stock. 4″ x 6″
Home and catching up…

Home and getting caught up. I think the laundry is finally done and all the household bookkeeping too. Things do pile up when one is happily enjoying the good life. Now it’s back to reality.
I have missed my art and time spent playing at my easel. It’s time to get back to it! I have so many ideas rumbling around in my wee brain. The Mexican sunshine has inspired me.
In the meantime I still have paintings that need homes. These are photos of just a sampling of what I have available. My art is all original, “one of a kind”, I do not make prints. They are in a variety of sizes and are all acrylic on gallery quality thick canvas.
If you are interested please email me for details at sfeniakart@gmail.com
Thank you.
Many thanks….

As this year comes to a close I would like to take a moment to thank everyone that supported me in my artistic endeavors. Your continued support is very much appreciated. For me this year has been one of ups and downs. And although I am not one to wish time away I am not sad to see the end of 2022. All that being said I believe that I have managed to create some decent art.
My sincerest wishes to each and everyone of you for a happy, healthy and creative 2023.
Artist Susan Feniak. All these pieces of original art were SOLD 🔴 in 2022 along with countless “one of a kind” greeting cards. I am beyond grateful. Thank you all, again.
