Thank you to Diane the owner of Explore Decor for taking part in the annual Sicamous Art Walk and making space for my art. Artist Susan Feniak. Both paintings are watercolors on paper, varnished, framed and waiting for a new home.
“The Stand”

Just a little something I have been working on. I have been discovering some great places to walk around our new home in Salmon Arm. It amazes me just how many trails there are. While out and about on these nature trails I am getting inspired. This painting is based on yet another photo that I took this past summer. Pretty sure there will be more to inspire me as I investigate our new surroundings.
Cheers, Susan Feniak
“Winterlude”

This year I am determined to embrace the beauty of winter. Which is a stretch for me. I am trying to see snow as a thing of wonder, noting details, patterns, colors and trying to find it not so dismal. Not something cold and wet that I have to wade through and shovel. Perhaps something that I can smile about. I am trying!! Hope you enjoy “Winterlude”! Cheers Susan Feniak
“A Birds Eye View”

A bit of whimsy for all of you and my imagination at work. Picture if you will a grassy field smattered with wild flowers. Countless birds happily singing and flitting about. This painting is how that field would look threw the eye of a bird. Or as I imagine it would. Hopefully you can picture this bright sunny day too. As you may be able to tell I am thinking of sun filled days and missing the colors, sounds, smells and warmth of them. A happy place!

Another in progress

See me smile? But due to another sleepless night. (Being sleepless is just me being me.) I came up with an idea for a new painting. Since I didn’t feel well enough equipped to attempt much of anything else today I decided to put said idea onto canvas. This is the biggest canvas I have tackle in a while and did I ever have fun with my brushes and paints. Almost enough to make me forget all about the sleepless night! There is a lot more left to do but the painting is of the world as a bird might see it. A Birds Eye View.

A Busy Highland Tarmac

Its been awhile since I last visited the Highlands of Scotland but I do remember the sheep lining the roads. They would sedately munch beside the tarmac and watch the few vehicles roll on by. We as tourists had to snap a few photos before moving along. Perhaps all the rain here today reminded me of my ancestral home. I have nothing but fond memories of Scotland and my times spent there. I will gladly visit again one day. Hope you enjoy my quick sketch of some fun memories.
Cheers, Susan Feniak

Well the gang was all here! I see Frisk has decided to run away. It is hard to corral a gaggle of Killdeer chicks. Or so it would seem. Sproink, Doink, Fuzzle and Goink are still here.
It was another rainy day and another chance for me to play. Oh happy day!
Hope this one brings a smile to your face! It has mine. Cheers, Susan Feniak For sale $125 plus shipping and handling
Rainy Day Musings
Posted: September 22, 2014 Filed under: Country, Original art, Paintings of Birds, Sketch book, Sketches/Doodles, Uncategorized, Water color pencils, Watercolors | Tags: Country Art, Just for fun, Local artist, original art, Paintings of birds, sketch book, Sketches/Doodles, water color pencils, water colors 11 CommentsOriginal art by Susan Feniak It was a two painting day! Being unable to get motivated and work in my office I decided to spend a quiet day with my art supplies. I played with my water colors, water color pencils and archival ink. Since I am lucky enough to have several sketch books I was able to work on one sketch while the other one dried. The first painting is of the field at the end of our street. I admit to using some artist discretion and added a barn and path where there was neither. It is a rather neglected weedy field. Every year someone bales it and then leaves the bales to moulder away until next years crop. I am certain the bales are homes to many a furry creature come winter!
The second painting of the day is another of my Killdeer chicks that I have grown rather fond of painting! May I introduce you to “Goink”. He is a rather long legged wee chap. If you were to ask me I would also say irresistible!
I could not have spent my quiet rainy day in a better way! How about you?
Cheers, Susan Feniak

As you can tell I have been completely side tracked by Killdeer chicks. I find them cute and fun to paint. Goodness knows we all need a little fun in our lives. Hope you enjoy looking as much as I did painting them. Cheers, Susan Feniak Available for $60 plus shipping and handling
