Look what’s coming to life on my easel! “Skye”. A highlander and a homage to my ancestral home, Scotland.
Remember this is a work in progress. I am still wondering if I should paint some flowers and greens strewn in Skye’s hair and horns. Or keep it simple and quaint. Almost as is….
Regardless it feels good to spend time at my easel. It’s been since before Christmas.
I will keep you updated when completed. In the meantime I hope everyone had a good Easter weekend.
Cheers Susan Feniak

Another revision is in progress on my easel. I painted the original in October of 2021. Shortly after my dear brother died. I was never completely happy with the original painting. Considering the circumstances no one, including myself, should be surprised by that. At the time I thought that I would live with the painting for awhile, think on it. I did manage to give it a title, “Ebb andFlow”. Lately I have been giving this painting and another one a great deal of thought. No better time than the present to have a go at revising and hopefully improving it.
My husband says the sand bar looks like it’s pushing the water. Oh oh. That doesn’t sound good. It’s supposed to be the other way around with the water pushing and surrounding the sand bar. What do you think? All that being said the painting/revision is still a work in progress. Time will tell…..

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.

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.

Another one on the easel….WIP

This week I decided to revisit another painting that I did years ago. That one was titled “My Pink Pond Lillies”. That painting has long since found it’s forever home.
I haven’t got a title for this version yet and as you can tell it’s still very much a work in progress. It’s interesting for me to see how much my style has changed or not. And if I have improved or not.
All that being said this painting was requested by someone who may or may not have been serious about that request. When people ask me to paint something I don’t think they realize the time and effort that goes into each piece. Not to mention my heart and soul. I have to charge accordingly. Sometimes that price comes as a bit of a shock. Compared to some artists my prices are not unreasonable. And I can’t give my heart and soul away. Think about it that way. It helps.
When finished this painting will be $300.00

I am making progress on my latest painting. These are photos of my process. FYI I start with a totally blank, white, pristine canvas. Sometimes that is daunting in of itself. I seem to be detail oriented these days. Not to mention enjoying creating trees and embracing nature.
Enjoy the sneak peak. I will reveal the painting when I think that I am finished.

More cards and the start of something big….

Getting my groove back, see previous post, involved starting with small things like my “one of a kind” cards. After making about a dozen cards I felt it was time or perhaps I was ready to work on something bigger. Silly me jumped right into a commission that was ordered a month or two ago. I don’t know about my fellow artists thoughts on commissions but I put my heart and soul into them. I want perfection. It’s got to be exactly what the person who orders it dreams of or envisions. A hard task, that reading and meeting of minds. Upon reflection I should have started with something for me, something fun, something to flex my creative muscles and blow off the cobwebs. All that being said the commission is coming together nicely although slowly. (It’s the last photo) I am up for the challenge or so it seems. So far. Oh and FYI I put my heart and soul into everything I create.
Artist Susan Feniak. The “one of a kind” cards are watercolors and ink on 5″ x 7″ cards. The painting is a WIP acrylic on a 20″ x 20″ gallery canvas.
At it again….

At it again…..My latest work in progress. From what seemingly looks like a hot mess you can see poppies emerge on the canvas. Oh how the creative mind works! Coming up there will be more to see.

It’s been a while since I have been able to post something here. We live most of the warmer months on our houseboat and there is a total lack of internet service. My data suffers! I hope everyone understands.
Here are photos of two cards I recently completed. Both are watercolors and ink on Strathmore card stock. 4″ x 6″.
The final three photos are the process and progress of my latest work in progress. I wonder if you can guess what flowers I am tackling this time? I will be sure to share the final edition. It’s acrylic on a 12″ x 24″ gallery canvas.
Cheers from the houseboat, artist Susan Feniak.

I have made a good start to another seascape. It has become apparent to me that I am happiest painting larger pieces and water. This after trying to increase my small pieces inventory. I will finish this one and get back to the smaller works. Having a good variety to share with everyone is important, collectors, purchasers, venues and all.
