“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
It’s been awhile…

It has been some time since my last post. It’s not that I haven’t been creating. I have indeed been painting or planning and gathering ideas. The truth is that I have no idea why I haven’t posted something. Perhaps it’s because I get very little traffic on my website or because I don’t have time. Perhaps I am too busy doing the aforementioned creating, planning and painting. Whatever there are reasons and excuses. These days it seems that time is at a premium for everyone.
I have decided to expand on my “one of a kind” greeting cards and start making “one of a kind” wood coasters. They are all hand painted and everyone is different. Acrylic on approximately 4″ round or square coasters. The raw edge round coasters are a bit smaller. I am varnishing them to protect them from heat and moisture. And testing them to make sure they are protected.
I have also started another painting which when finished will be acrylic on a 20″ x 20″ gallery wrapped canvas. I will give the photo credit to a friend when the painting is complete. I am grateful to that friend for giving me permission to use his beautiful photo.
In the meantime have a fabulous weekend. Cheers Susan
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.

More cards and the start of something big….

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.
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.

I have been having fun creating this series of “Flamazing” cards. Who wouldn’t have fun with flamingos? They are flippin’ flamazing! I hope my silly sense of humor and creativity has made you smile. Although light hearted these cards do carry a message. Just sayin’

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.
