Am I in Africa? No

No title. Mum and baby.
If you don’t see this, it isn’t from me.

No, I am not in Africa.  But for some reason my “one of a kind” card today is of an elephant and her baby.

The second photo is a reminder. If you don’t see my hand written initials and find “one of a kind” on the back of your card, then you didn’t buy one of mine. Just sayin’

Artist Susan Feniak. QoR watercolours and ink on Strathmore card stock. 5″ x 7″.

Because some of these cards are taking me hours to create I am seriously considering making prints of some. I hope the price can drop, or I can offer a 3 for ?$ deal.  But they will no longer be “one of a kind”. No longer original which is something that I am proud of.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers Susan Feniak


Another two….

Mr Spoonbill
No title, Happy Cat?

Two more “one of a kind” greeting cards. Both are QoR watercolors and ink on Strathmore card stock. 5″ x 7″.

My stock pile of cards is growing. It’s nice to have the opportunity to do a wee bit of art while in Ixtapa Mexico.

That being said I am looking forward to getting home and working on some serious pieces. You know, the bigger kind. The acrylic on canvas kind. I have so much inspiration from our cruise in October and our stay here in Mexico. My fingers are twitching with anticipation. Patience Susan, patience. Haha


“one of a kind”

The annual Tortuga
Geko?
Experiment 8″ x 10″

Lately I have been able to grab an hour here and there to make some, “one of a kind”, cards. That time is usually when my husband is having a siesta. Yes, I am still in Mexico. Some Friday afternoons have been set aside for art as well.  It depends on the ladies that I share this time with whether or not we all have time. Time flies, even in Mexico. It all sounds complicated but it’s not. Haha. It’s all about time. I better find more time to make more cards because my stock pile is depleted.

Mother Love

Mother Love

“Mother Love”. Introducing Fiona and wee Archie. I cannot explain my adoration of heilan coo’s. Especially this year. First there was “Skye”, then “Donal” now this, Mother Love with Fiona and Archie. I was inspired by a photo that I saw on a FB page @lovescotland. I had to paint the love shared between the two, a mother and her calf, portrayed in that photo.

Mother Love is by Susan Feniak. Acrylic on a 24″ x 24″ gallery wrapped canvas. Asking $400 cdn plus shipping. Currently unframed.

Cheers Susan Feniak.

“Summer Heights”

Summer Heights

The newest painting from Susan Feniak’s easel is “Summer Heights”. This painting is inspired by Susan’s walks and ebike rides along the River Front Nature Park in Sicamous BC. A very inspirational place to visit. Especially for Susan. There are huge old cottonwood trees that grow along the trail. They are very tall, ergo the title, “Summer Heights”.  This is not the first time that Susan has captured a scene from this trail.

Garden Visitors

Garden Visitors

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.

“Donal”

Donal
Skye

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

Mr Heron 🔴 Sold
Skye 🔴 Sold

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!

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
