Coming up soon, THE annual July long weekend art show at the Red Barn Arts Centre in Sicamous.  I am excited to once again be sharing my art with you at the show. If you are in the area please pop by. I will be there from 1 to 4 p.m. daily.

The above paintings will be available along with a new batch of my “one of a kind” greeting cards.

Cheers Susan Feniak


“Skye” is varnished and framed.

“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.

Thank you…

On this final day of 2024 I would like to take a moment to thank all the wonderful people who continue to support me in my artistic endeavors. I really do appreciate your continued and unwavering support.

Wishing you a happy, healthy, prosperous and peaceful 2025.

Cheers Susan Feniak


Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

“May your season be merry and bright.”

Sadly because of the Canada post strike our 2024 Christmas cards couldn’t be sent this year. Posting on social media will have to suffice.

Cheers, Susan Feniak

2024 paintings part 2! Please see my previous post for part 1 and the explanation for why I had to make parts 1 and 2!

I think that I produced a lot of art work in 2024. I know many of you create a lot more than I but considering my artistic year didn’t start until late March at the earliest, 17 larger pieces seems a fair amount.

Remember that I also created countless of my “one of a kind” cards too. I haven’t included photos of them or my smaller pieces.

At this time I would like to thank you, my friends, followers and collectors for your continued support. It helps me to know that what I create is indeed appreciated. Your support helps me to continue on this journey of mine.

Cheers Susan Feniak


“Heartsease”

Heartsease

The latest revision has a title, “Heartsease”.  Our much loved view of Mara Lake BC. Tranquility. This painting was previously named Mara Twilight. The lighting of that painting was indeed twilight. I prefer showing Mara on a bright sunny day. Those of us fortunate enough to enjoy its beauty are very much aware that storms can stir Mara up into a frenzy of wild waves and whitecaps. That’s reality. It’s far more appealing  to remember the idyllic moments.

On a cold snowy day…

Another Revision
Mara Twilight 2022
Primer the bits I don’t want…
The revision process…
Pretty much a total redo, lighten and brighten

It’s the first real cold snowy day we’ve had so far this fall. So what does an artist do? Paint a bright sunny day!

I painted Mara Twilight back in 2022. It’s moved from wall to wall at our house.  It’s featured on my 2024 calendar this month but it’s had no real interest or inquiries. I decided it needed brightening up. So I nixed the darkness of twilight and changed it to a bright sunny day. It’s much the same as my painting “Mara Muse”.  I miss that painting so this one may replace it.

Not only did I totally change the painting I will have to change the title too.  Any suggestions?

Finished revising Ebb and Flow

Revised Ebb and Flow

Ebb and Flow has seen a lot of changes over the last couple of days. I am happier with this new version. So far. I am fickle. There could possibly be a few more tweaks but for now I am saying “done”.  To see this painting pre revision please visit my previous post.

If you like the new version or even if you don’t feel free to let me know. Constructive criticism is welcome.

Floral Extravaganza

Floral Extravaganza
Newly decorated bedroom

I am calling my latest painting, Floral Extravaganza, done! Since it’s still drying some more tweaking could happen.  In my previous blog I shared the beginning of this painting. Days and hours of creating later here it is. If only an artist got paid by the hour! 

Normally I don’t try to match or do art specifically to match a room, or furniture, or bedding. My rule of thumb is if you love it will work.  But the new bedding was calling me to create Floral Extravaganza.

Today my husband and I quietly celebrated our 49th wedding anniversary. We both can’t believe it’s been 49 years. Time truly does fly. Love does conquer all of life’s foibles.

“Mara Muse” SOLD

From the kitchen of our boat!
“Mara Muse” 🔴

This paintinghas since Sold. 🔴 “Mara Muse”. I have been trying to capture the view from the aft deck of our houseboat for 8 years. That’s how long we’ve owned our boat. I think that I succeeded today! Yay! I have made several attempts but this one makes my heart sing. See me smile. Funny something that is so near and dear can be so difficult to duplicate. But not today. I started and finished this painting in one day. Yes, you read that correctly, one day. I found the zone. Nothing feels better to an artist than that zone. Trust me.
