Meet “Mr. Heron”. He is a neighbor of ours at Three Buoys Marina in Sicamous. I probably do a portrait of him once a year. Sometimes more, sometimes none. He inspires me. What can I say? The photos aren’t exactly in the right order but I am pretty sure they will give the gist of my process.
When I come up with a better title you will be the first to know. In the meantime I hope you enjoy meeting Mr. Heron, again. If you have any comments or are interested in owning Mr. Heron, the painting, please feel free to email me at sfeniakart@gmail.com

This time I have a revision of a painting that I did back in 2018 to share with you. I was never particularly happy with “Raven Trail Autumn” but at the time I decided to leave it alone. Every time I looked at it I wanted to do something to it but was never sure what. The boardwalk bothered me and the lake in the distance did too. So this week I finally put Raven Trail Autumn back on my easel and had a go at changing it. Hopefully for the better. As you can see I posted the 2018 version on top and the 2024 revision bellow it.
The reminder is for the upcoming annual July long weekend Art Show and Sale at the Red Barn in Sicamous. Please, if you are in the area, drop by and visit the show. We have a lot of very talented people in our neck of the woods. I will be volunteering at the show daily from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and I will have four of my bigger paintings available along with a table of my smaller paintings and “one of a kind” cards for sale.

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.

Process for new painting ….

I am making progress on my latest painting. These are photos of my process. FYI I start with a totally blank, white, pristine canvas. Sometimes that is daunting in of itself. I seem to be detail oriented these days. Not to mention enjoying creating trees and embracing nature.
Enjoy the sneak peak. I will reveal the painting when I think that I am finished.

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…

We have moved to the lake for the next 5 to 6 months. Our home is a 50 foot houseboat on the Shuswap. I look forward to the lazy days of summer. When all the estate matters for my mother have been dealt with. When I can find inspiration and create.
In the meantime…it snowed on the hills overnight and our furnace isn’t working. It is cold and blustery. The houseboat rocking. Getting my fingers to work could be a problem. It will be a stay indoors, try to stay warm, kind of day. Time for art. Get my groove back. A good thing.

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.
