Update, this painting has SOLD. Thank you Gayle and Rick. The making of “Day’s Eye”. From the David Oakes photo to the completed painting.
Thank you again to David for kindly giving me permission to use his beautiful photo.
At one stage of this painting I had to wonder, “What was I thinking?”. There were a lot of petals and a lot of layers. But I persevered and I am very happy that I did.
Thank you for stopping by and having a look.

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

We are still enjoying our extended vacation in beautiful Ixtapa Mexico. The sunsets are truly fabulous. I believe that I mentioned that several times last year too. I really haven’t been taking as many photos this year, nor have I been posting or blogging as much. I am just relaxing and inhaling the beauty that surrounds us.
Remember to be kind and stay healthy everyone. Cheers Susan

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.
More? Yes more sights from Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo….

We are still enjoying our much needed extended vacation in Ixtapa. It’s been a tuff couple of years and an even ruffer 8 months or so. Family issues have taken up a lot of our time and energy. It’s been wonderful to escape and take care of us instead of everyone else. The photos are some what self explanatory. The sunsets are glorious. The palapa is being rebuilt after a fire destroyed it. There are many pangas, boats used by the locals for everything. The iguanas are numerous and interesting. We spend hours watching the ocean and waves. There have been dolphin sightings and even a humpback whale or two. Normally we don’t take selfies. Mostly because we suck at it. But sometimes people want to see us in a photo so I attached the two selfies that we dared to take. Worth a laugh if nothing else.
I hope you are enjoying a glimpse into our vacation. We are relaxed. And that is important. Cheers Susan and Carey
Many thanks….

As this year comes to a close I would like to take a moment to thank everyone that supported me in my artistic endeavors. Your continued support is very much appreciated. For me this year has been one of ups and downs. And although I am not one to wish time away I am not sad to see the end of 2022. All that being said I believe that I have managed to create some decent art.
My sincerest wishes to each and everyone of you for a happy, healthy and creative 2023.
Artist Susan Feniak. All these pieces of original art were SOLD 🔴 in 2022 along with countless “one of a kind” greeting cards. I am beyond grateful. Thank you all, again.

On November 11th 2022 take a moment to remember all those who have given their lives, given of themselves and given their families so we can live the life we’ve grown accustomed to.
I live in one of the best countries in the world. I enjoy freedom, peace and prosperity. For that I am grateful and try to remember more often than one day a year.
How fortunate we are! Give thanks and remember.
“Sunset on Mara”

Sunset on Mara. This painting has a lot of meaning for me. It is emotionally charged. Firstly it is the first painting since the death of our youngest son. Secondly it is based on a photo that I took the evening after his death. I could see a bird taking flight in the cloud formation. It was a perfect evening and a spectacular sunset. A beautiful memory to have and hold. Ergo it had to be memorialized on canvas by my hands, brushes and imagination.

Presenting to you my latest painting, “Floral Wave”! I don’t think any explanation is needed except for this is purely my imagination at work. Having fun splashing acrylics about. I hope you like this happy painting as much as I enjoyed creating it.
