I am pleased to share with you the latest painting from my easel, “Summery Show”.
What other flower, other than perhaps sunflowers, brighten anyone’s flower garden? Rudbeckia of course! Also know as Black Eyed Susan’s.
Here I have enjoyed showing off the beauty of what some would consider an old fashioned garden favorite. In my world they are a standard for any garden. They were always in mine.
This painting is all about the showy blooms. I treated the foliage as a minor player, lacking detail.
Artist Susan Feniak. Acrylic on a 20″ x 24″ gallery wrapped canvas, painted on all sides. Asking $350.00 cdn not including shipping. If you are interested in “Summery Show” or any of my other works my email address is: sfeniakart@gmail.com
Thank you taking the time to read this blog.

A new painting in progress on my easel. It was 40C here today so I am having to use Goldens Retarder to keep my acrylic paints from drying on my palette. There are once again visible wildfires burning near us and smoke fills the air. The predicted cooler temperatures later this week and perhaps a bit of rain will ease our concerns. In the meantime summer flowers continue to bloom seemingly unconcerned be everything else happening in our world. I am always inspired by that and their beauty.
This is a work in progress. Artist Susan Feniak. Acrylic on a 20″ x 24″ gallery wrapped canvas.

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

Considering that I hadn’t spent any time at my easel since last July. I will have to say that this past month or so has been a productive and creative time for me. I do believe that I got my mojo back! What a relief. And wow what fun I’ve had splashing paint about.
I would like to thank everyone for your continued support and encouragement.
Cheers Susan Feniak

Yes, once again the ocean has inspired me. I thoroughly enjoyed playing with my brushes and paint for this one. My imagination was in play as well.
It came to me. I think the perfect title for this one is “Crescendo”. What do you think?
The above photos are in sequence. From a blank canvas, not shown, to the completed creation. A mountainous break. Perhaps my hours of watching the breaks in Ixtapa helped inspire this one.
I have also included my official 2024 Federation of Canadian Artists badge.

Let me reintroduce myself. This is me, Susan Feniak.
Artist Statement
Susan Feniak is a self taught Canadian artist who is an “Exhibiting Member”, (formerly known as, “Active Member”), of the prestigious Federation of Canadian Artists.
Susan and her family have lived in the Salmon Arm area of British Columbia since 1969 and she has been painting since 2009.
The beauty of the Shuswap inspires Susan. There are often lakescapes or landscapes of local scenes on her easel. Sometimes floral arrangements, seascapes or whimsical birds and animals will make an appearance. Wherever her vivid imagination takes her.
Susan uses acrylics or watercolours to make her creations. Her “one of a kind” hand painted greeting cards are ever popular.
Susan hopes that her art makes you smile. Her wish is to make this world a better place through art.

That is my updated and revised artist statement. Thank you for taking the time to read about me and visiting my website.
Cheers Susan
“Let Fly”

After several paintings in a row that were time consuming and detail oriented I decided to let fly with a pallet knife and paints.
This painting is the result. I had fun smearing and spreading paint around the canvas. Creating lots of texture. It was a much needed change.
