Cards

I am fortunate to have a local business owner who is providing space for me to show and hopefully sale my “one of a kind” cards. I am grateful to April from “Willow” a ladies clothing store on Main Street in Sicamous. Several cards have sold so I got busy and made some more. The photos represent the new ones that I dropped off the other day and as far as I know are still available.

Artist Susan Feniak. “one of a kind” greeting cards. Literally one of a kind, all hand painted, watercolor and ink on 5″ x 7″ cards. Prices range from $8 to $10 cdn each.


The making of “Day’s Eye” ðŸ”´

The David Oakes photo. Thank you!

The beginning, ruffing in, from nothing to something!
Oh no! Lots of petals!
Adding depth
Layers and layers
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.

Labor of love. “Day’s Eye”

Day’s Eye 🔴 SOLD

“Day’s Eye”. This latest painting has been a labor of love. Memories of our youngest son’s life and loss kept me going on this one. I needed an out and the best way for me to accomplish that is paint, to escape. Go to my happy place. For HOURS!! Or wallow, and I don’t do that.

Also, for those of you that haven’t figured it out yet, I love flowers. Once upon a time I was a florist and designer extraordinaire.

For the photo credit I would like to thank, photographer and friend David Oakes. He very kindly gave me permission to use his photo of these glorious daisy’s.  Thank you David.

“The Sun and Moon” Sold ðŸ”´

Sold 🔴 “The Sun and Moon.” Or El sol y la luna. The latest painting drying on my easel. One of my favorite places is Zihuatanejo Mexico. A fishing village on the Pacific coast. This painting is my depiction of two Zihua fishing boats, known as pangas, resting at anchor. Normally at the end of the day these boats are hauled up onto the beach. But I wanted to show how beautiful the water is so my boats are at anchor. I have painted many boats without issue but these two started out a bit wonky. I am pretty sure I fixed that. And before anyone mentions it, yes I broke a rule and placed the boats dead centre!! No rule of thirds in this one. It’s about the colors, ocean, and boats. My loves.

“Summery Show”

Summery Show

I am pleased to share with you the latest painting from my easel,  “Summery Show”.

What other flower, other than perhaps sunflowers, brighten anyone’s flower garden? Rudbeckia of course! Also know as Black Eyed Susan’s.

Here I have enjoyed showing off the beauty of what some would consider an old fashioned garden favorite. In my world they are a standard for any garden. They were always in mine.

This painting is all about the showy blooms. I treated the foliage as a minor player, lacking detail.

Artist Susan Feniak. Acrylic on a 20″ x 24″ gallery wrapped canvas,  painted on all sides. Asking $350.00 cdn  not including shipping. If you are interested in “Summery Show” or any of my other works my email address is: sfeniakart@gmail.com

Thank you taking the time to read this blog.


New W.I.P. Summer Flowers

A new painting in progress on my easel. It was 40C here today so I am having to use Goldens Retarder to keep my acrylic paints from drying on my palette. There are once again visible wildfires burning near us and smoke fills the air. The predicted cooler temperatures later this week and perhaps a bit of rain will ease our concerns. In the meantime summer flowers continue to bloom seemingly unconcerned be everything else happening in our world. I am always inspired by that and their beauty.

This is a work in progress. Artist Susan Feniak. Acrylic on a 20″ x 24″ gallery wrapped canvas.
