Wow!

Wow! Thank you to everyone who came to the first day of the art show and voted for my painting “Skye”! 🔴 We won the first ever people’s choice award at the show. As far as I know this is the first time we’ve held a people’s choice contest. There will be a new winner every day during the show.

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!

Cheers Susan Feniak


I am still here….

I am still here in beautiful Ixtapa Mexico. I did say that I would post any art that I manage to do. So….the above are the six “one of a kind” cards that I made to donate to a silent auction in support of the elderly peoples of Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo. There are no pensions, no old age security here so if you don’t have family to help you or the wherewithal to maintain a home or have food and a roof over your head there is no support for you. Think about that for a moment!

We are fortunate.

For the last several years while staying here we have donated to this event and cause.

“Mr. Heron” SOLD

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

“Mr. Heron” is acrylic on a 12″ x 24″ gallery canvas. SOLD 🔴 Asking $200.00 cdn plus shipping. Artist Susan Feniak.

Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends and family.

Still keeping busy…

Jordon

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.

Designing new cards.

Upon arriving home from Mexico I discovered that many of my cards for sale at Rikki Lou Who’s Gift Emporium sold! How wonderful! Many thanks to those of you that have bought my cards and supported local business.

I have been busily creating new greeting cards. These seem to have a spring theme to them. What do you think?

I hope to spend time at my easel very soon.

Home and catching up…

Home and getting caught up. I think the laundry is finally done and all the household bookkeeping too. Things do pile up when one is happily enjoying the good life. Now it’s back to reality.

I have missed my art and time spent playing at my easel. It’s time to get back to it! I have so many ideas rumbling around in my wee brain. The Mexican sunshine has inspired me.

In the meantime I still have paintings that need homes. These are photos of just a sampling of what I have available. My art is all original, “one of a kind”, I do not make prints. They are in a variety of sizes and are all acrylic on gallery quality thick canvas.

If you are interested please email me for details at sfeniakart@gmail.com

Thank you.


Busy creating Christmas cards….

I have been creating Christmas cards as fast as I can. These are just a sampling of the ones I have made so far this year. No two are the same, ergo, “one of a kind”. This year my “one of a kind” cards are available for sale at Rikki Lou Who’s Gift Emporium downtown Salmon Arm BC. I am pleased to have this opportunity. Thank you for shopping local and supporting your local small business owners and artisans.

As always I hope my happy quirky critters make you smile.
