As 2025 comes to a close, I would like to thank everyone who supported me and my artistic endeavors by purchasing a piece of my art. Your patronage is greatly appreciated. Thank you also for continuing to like, comment and visit my Facebook pages, Instagram posts and of course here on WordPress. Social media can be a time consuming affair so thank you for your time.
Speaking of time I did not have much of it to create this year but when I did “heilan coo’s” were a favorite for me and apparently everyone else! I hope to have more time this coming year to spend at my easel. With my husband finally settling into retirement maybe my time will once again be mine.
Here’s to a happy healthy and creative 2026! PEACE

Pleased to say this one has 🔴 SOLD! Thank you to the collector, who I know will give it an appreciative home.
New art!! It’s been awhile since enough time was available for me to spend time at my easel. That and I really didn’t feel like it. Then, all of a sudden I got the urge, that must do, can do, feeling that I can’t resist. It felt good.
For lack of a better name I am calling this one “Garden Visitors”. That may be a temporary title. I shall see.
I hope you like it. It’s certainly summery and colourful.

Meet “Donal”. Yes, I painted another “heilan coo”. a.k.a. highland cow. Because of “Skye” and his popularity I was commissioned by the daughter of his purchaser to paint another Skye. Acknowledging that I can’t paint the same thing exactly the same way twice (especially on a smaller scale) I agreed. Donal is the result. I do like the fact that both beasties are completely different characters. That’s the joy of creating. I also like the fact that both will be hanging in welcoming appreciative homes. Many thanks to the lovers of Donal and Skye.
Artist Susan Feniak. Donal is acrylic on a 16″ x 16″ gallery wrapped canvas. Skye is acrylic on a 24″ x 24″ gallery wrapped canvas.
Now I hope to have time to paint something new and different.
Thank you

Thank you everyone that came to the art show and sale at the Red Barn in Sicamous this past weekend. Because of you it was a success. Many thanks to all the volunteers that worked hard before, during and after the show.
Although I miss him “Skye” found a new home and so did “Mr Heron”.
Now to start working on new pieces for next year’s show.
Cheers Susan Feniak
Wow!

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!

“Skye” is varnished and has a frame. Because of the cost of a frame I have to increase the asking price for “Skye” to $450.00 cdn plus shipping. It’s a white metal floating frame. Measuring 25″ to outside edges. I can still offer “Skye” at the original price of $350.00 without the frame.

Meet “Skye”. Artist Susan Feniak. Acrylic on a 24″x 24″ gallery wrapped canvas.
Skye is available. Asking $350 cdn plus shipping.
Skye is a highlander. I know it’s not my first attempt at painting one of these guys but Skye certainly is the biggest version.
It felt good to get back to my easel and creating.
Cheers Susan
Look what’s coming to life on my easel…

Look what’s coming to life on my easel! “Skye”. A highlander and a homage to my ancestral home, Scotland.
Remember this is a work in progress. I am still wondering if I should paint some flowers and greens strewn in Skye’s hair and horns. Or keep it simple and quaint. Almost as is….
Regardless it feels good to spend time at my easel. It’s been since before Christmas.
I will keep you updated when completed. In the meantime I hope everyone had a good Easter weekend.
Cheers Susan Feniak

2024 Paintings part 2

2024 paintings part 2! Please see my previous post for part 1 and the explanation for why I had to make parts 1 and 2!
I think that I produced a lot of art work in 2024. I know many of you create a lot more than I but considering my artistic year didn’t start until late March at the earliest, 17 larger pieces seems a fair amount.
Remember that I also created countless of my “one of a kind” cards too. I haven’t included photos of them or my smaller pieces.
At this time I would like to thank you, my friends, followers and collectors for your continued support. It helps me to know that what I create is indeed appreciated. Your support helps me to continue on this journey of mine.
Cheers Susan Feniak
