This is an older painting on watercolor paper but I thought I'd share it because the painting process might be of interest.

Goddesses & Heroines Sketches & Paintings-in-Progress
Here is a sampling of some of my recent paintings and sketches in-progress of goddess and heroines. When they are finished I will share them first with Museletter subscribers who have the first option to buy them. After two weeks I'll list them as prints, cards and originals in my shop. My reference book for these paintings is The Book of Goddesses & Heroines by Patricia Monaghan. Painting Goddesses & Heroines again is making me very happy and very soon you'll be seeing these paintings featured in magazines, journals, and in museum stores so stay tuned for more info!

New Year's Fire~Ice Faerie
Fire-Ice Fairy in progress by Kathy Crabbe
Fire-Ice Fairy in progress by Kathy Crabbe
I live in Southern California (Temecula) which is a desert valley so when it snowed the day before New Year's Eve and it snowed ALOT I was so excited and so was Abby, my dog ~ it was her first snow and she LOOOOOVED chasing snowballs. I'd also been dying to paint after the whirlwind of the holidays finally settled down and so I began a fairy painting in gouache and acrylic in my Moleskin journal inspired by the cold white wintery landscape out my window. My painted border became a grey-blue icy flame and I'm planning on tracking her progress on this blog as well so stick around!

Handpainting a new sign (banner) on pine board (Shabby Chic-esque!)
I've been painting my new line of Magical Folk Art on old pieces of pine board cut to size by my husband and figured I'd create a new sign for my website, online shop, art booth, etc. I always like to update the graphics for my work when I start in on a new style and my new work fits the Shabby Chic theme quite well - hope you enjoy it!
ABOUT KATHY CRABBE

I live in a home created by my husband that we share with our cat and dog, Abby and Spartacus. Gnomes, aliens and fairies have also been spotted here. I’ve been drawing since age two and giving intuitive soul readings since 2008.
