Until now my latest painting was nameless. With my husband’s help we’ve given it the title of….drum roll…. “Woodland Stroll”.
Hope you like it.

The latest painting is now drying on my easel. What do you think? Are there enough trees for you? There certainly was for me! Ha ha!! There may be a few more tweaks as I live with it. And eventually I need to come up with a title. Unless of course you the viewers have some suggestions.
The painting is based on another favorite place of mine, the Sicamous Nature Trail. It’s between seasons, late summer early fall. Leaves are changing colour, trees preparing for the next season.

Mission Accomplished

Mission accomplished! My first painting and commission of 2024 completed. For me it’s better late than never. I haven’t painted a real painting in months. I was beginning to think and worry that I had lost my touch. I had certainly lost the urge. Happily I discovered none of the above had actually happened. Apparently I just needed a break.
“Haven Point Memory” is a commissioned painting. Am I ever glad this opportunity was provided. The subject was perfect for me at this time. I needed an escape from all the stuff life, or rather a death, has thrown my way. Otherwise I may still be floundering in dither land. More simply put I needed to paint. And I needed a reason. Thankfully opportunity struck. Haven Point on Shuswap Lake holds many fond memories for me and many of our friends. Not to mention the person who will eventually receive this painting as a gift. The cabin and it’s surroundings provide a serene, cool and calm place to recoup and regroup. Perfection.

Getting my groove back, see previous post, involved starting with small things like my “one of a kind” cards. After making about a dozen cards I felt it was time or perhaps I was ready to work on something bigger. Silly me jumped right into a commission that was ordered a month or two ago. I don’t know about my fellow artists thoughts on commissions but I put my heart and soul into them. I want perfection. It’s got to be exactly what the person who orders it dreams of or envisions. A hard task, that reading and meeting of minds. Upon reflection I should have started with something for me, something fun, something to flex my creative muscles and blow off the cobwebs. All that being said the commission is coming together nicely although slowly. (It’s the last photo) I am up for the challenge or so it seems. So far. Oh and FYI I put my heart and soul into everything I create.
Artist Susan Feniak. The “one of a kind” cards are watercolors and ink on 5″ x 7″ cards. The painting is a WIP acrylic on a 20″ x 20″ gallery canvas.

My easel hasn’t been busy this summer but that doesn’t mean that I don’t have any art for you to see and purchase.
All four of these paintings and many more are still available. All are original pieces of art, acrylic on various sizes of gallery ready canvas. Remember I am a recognized artist and that I am an active member of The Federation of Canadian Artists.

My latest painting has a title. The concensus was a variation on Daffodilicious, Daffodilushious etc. so I settled on Daffodelicious. My great Grandmother’s Daffo-dum-dilies can wait for another time.

Drying on my easel, new art. As you can tell by the subject matter I started this one months ago. At the time I lost interest in it. What can I say? I started several paintings and didn’t finish any of them. It happens. Now I am back on both creative feet and ready to finish what I started.
Now it’s up to you and me to give this painting a title. “Daffo-dum-dilies”, or “Daffodilicious”. My great grandmother used to call daffodils Daffo-dum-dilies. My husband suggested Daffodilicious.

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
