Welcome to Susan Feniak's Art. I choose to be happy. My hope is that sharing my passion for creativity makes this world of ours a wee bit brighter and happier.
Another two….

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

Just incase I haven’t shared enough Ixtapa sunsets with you, here’s two more. We’ve been coming here for quite a few years now, and the sunsets continue to amaze us. Maybe not you my erstwhile readers and followers but I am sharing nonetheless. As to any current followers and friends please do enjoy. I appreciate your time.
I am trying to do a bit of art, sometimes daily. It can be hit or miss. So here’s Mr Pelican, I am surprised he hasn’t swallowed his catch whole already. The tiger? Well let me just say, I avoid painting cats, of any size. There is something about them. I usually end up making some evil looking creature. This was my first attempt at a tiger. It’s based rather loosely on a painting I saw by another artist, Nora MacPhail. I do admire her work. I may try to attempt my own version of a tiger, my way, sometime. Practice makes perfect. Or at least, better.
Regardless, enjoy.

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.

Goodbye 2025, hello 2026!

As 2025 comes to a close, I would like to thank everyone who supported me and my artistic endeavors by purchasing a piece of my art. Your patronage is greatly appreciated. Thank you also for continuing to like, comment and visit my Facebook pages, Instagram posts and of course here on WordPress. Social media can be a time consuming affair so thank you for your time.
Speaking of time I did not have much of it to create this year but when I did “heilan coo’s” were a favorite for me and apparently everyone else! I hope to have more time this coming year to spend at my easel. With my husband finally settling into retirement maybe my time will once again be mine.
Here’s to a happy healthy and creative 2026! PEACE

Merry Christmas

Afternoon art time

Some afternoon’s I have time to sit down and play with the watercolours and paper/cards that I brought with me to Mexico. There is very little room in my suitcase for art supplies but I manage to bring a few bits and bobs.
Admittedly I spend more time gazing at our amazing view. But on occasion I do manage to get in the zone and create. The dolphins were a lot of fun!
Christmas cards? I guess they will become part of a stock pile for next year. Maybe they will actually get sent to someone.
Christmas is just around the corner. Where did that year go?
Enjoy! May your Christmas be merry and full of love. Shared with those you love. Hold them near. Peace.
A little art

I have been making a few Christmas cards. I couldn’t possibly let Christmas go by without making them.
We will be in Mexico for Christmas this year. It will be very different for us. But you know what they say, a change is as good as a rest. It was or is time to change things up. Make new traditions.
All that being said I made cards anyway. I just won’t be sending any. A select few got my 2026 calendar, which I ordered early.
Over the years I have spent hours creating individual cards for our friends and family. Since we receive very few cards in return, it seems sending Christmas cards is becoming a thing of the past. That is rather sad. Sending and receiving the annual greeting was something to look forward to. It was often the only time you would hear from some people.
Traditions change as do we. Time continues to fly.
Enjoy my wintery scenes. I for one will continue to not miss snow.

On the road again…
Posted: November 30, 2025 | Author: Susan Feniak | Filed under: Mexico, on vacation | Tags: Canadian Artist, hiatus, Mexico, on vacation | 2 Comments




Hola from Ixtapa, Zihuatanejo Mexico. Yup, we are on the road again. This will be our home away from home for the next while.
It’s amazing what some of us Canadians will do to avoid a northern winter.
“Rosa” is my southern ebike. You will most likely be seeing photos of her and I on our adventures. Ciclopistas are the bike trails here.
Or I may share photos of sunsets because they are spectacular here.
Or there could be photos of our scooter travels. The scooter is my husband’s preferred mode of transport.
There will most likely be very little art. I was only able to cram some watercolors, cards and some paper into my suitcase.
That being said I should promote the fact that my painting, “Mother Love”, is on display at the offices of Miller Wealth on Hudson Ave Salmon Arm BC.

And there you have it. The latest news from me. Cheers Susan
Celebrating 50 years together.

Recently my husband, Carey and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary. To celebrate we went on a 21 day Mediterranean cruise. The trip of a lifetime.
The following photos are a very few of my favorites from our trip. I took a lot of photos so it has been difficult to edit them down. If you want to know more about our trip one can check out my Facebook posts. I tried to share every day.
We had a fabulous time and are grateful for the opportunity to see and learn so much about the places we visited.
Cheers Susan Feniak




















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.
