ArtLifting - Buy Art, Change a Life.

I need to send a huge thank you to ArtLifting, for marketing my art so successfully for the last couple of years. When I thought my disabilities would put an end to my art career, ArtLifting found me and took over the parts I could no longer do, the physical things like framing, shipping, art shows... I really do miss all those things, especially the studio and all the classes and get togethers, and painting with my friends. But now I'm happily painting at home, and my friends at ArtLifting are doing all the "heavy lifting" for me! This is a wonderful company, and has given me a reason to get up and paint every morning, YAY! If you visit their website, be sure to read or watch the videos about how it all works, and the ingenious methods they use to help artists who happen to be disabled or homeless. If you are an artist with a disability I would implore you to check this out. And just take a look at all the artists on their website...so much talent, such beautiful work!

So good to listen to the voice of our old friend, Will McLean, in one of his most beautiful songs.

No kidding! I can't argue with any of these..thank you, Lora Duguay! I got some new art supplies and I've been on the patio painting/experimenting with for 3 days! Did you mention compulsion? obsession, inspiration? Oh yeah, I think you've got them all!

I hear that.

OUT OF THIS WORLD...love the colors, the freedom, the endless possibilities of alcohol inks. No boundaries, no stress.. hope you all are having a good week, nice warm weather, all good stuff. Have fun, be creative, be yourself always. Thinking of all our friends, sad that its hard to get together in person, but we sure are glad to see Y'all on facebook, hear what you are doing? If you are painting, put something on here, just for fun. Love Y'all!

I painted this sitting on the porch of our vacation cabin in North Georgia. We had a wonderdul time with Ed and Cecile Stemple, and Barbara Adams . So good to revisit old memories.. wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving.

FLIGHT ..Acrylic by Susan Kubes honoring my friend and fellow ARTS4ALL artist Lora Duguay..it was meant to highlight her grace, beauty, warmth and energy! She has taught me so much! This was with Sandra Sroka in 2016 at the Tampa Mayor's Alliance Luncheon.
ARTS4ALL, formerly VSAFL, has given me so much guidance and so many opportunities, friendships and great memories.

REBIRTH..alcohol ink on YUPO 6"X8" just finished..
many of you already know We had to close the art studio last year due to my increasing lack of ability to move around.. I'm at home still painting some small pieces..just because creativity makes me happy.
The part I miss most is our classes..we had so much fun..and I really enjoyed seeing some of my students win awards with their new painting skills. I'll be keeping and updating my Fine Art America website so watch for future information.
A BIG Thank you to all of my friends and fans for all the great memories!
I'll try to add new work here from time to time..and I would love to hear from you!
Let me see what you are painting too!

This is a tribute to a very old traditional art. Crochet, embroidery, and lacemaking in this photo were lovingly and painstakingly made by generations of Kubes women of the 2oth century, mothers and grandmothers, now carried on by generations in the 21st century..taught by their mothers to do this delicate handiwork. This will be framed and handed down to generations yet to come as a family treasure.

Annette Fithian Because life is not made only of photos! I also liked the idea. And I'm going to get into the game. The proposal is "shake" the Facebook. Let's see if it works. The game is to make a small test to see who reads the messages when there is no picture. Therefore, if you are reading this message, make a comment using a single word about how we met. Just one word.. Please. Next, copy this message on your wall so I can also leave a word. Just hold your finger on text. Touch the word copy. Go to your pg & hold your finger where you write. Then on "paste" when it shows up. That's it!
