Virgo Full Moon o Plenty o Cats

This Full Moon blog post is bound to come out, whether I'm ready or not! All night it wrote itself into my dreams.

Happy Full Moon in Virgo,
Luv, Kathy Crabbe
Soul Reader + Artist

As per my spiritual mentors' advice I'm continuing to ADD to my website not SUBTRACT because...ALL is Goddess.

So, that means I'm very busy adding the artwork that is by far the most loved and popular work I've ever created and that's my LuLu in Laguna series painted on silk during my 8 years in Laguna Beach, California - a paradise I found myself in during my 30's and where it all began.

During a re-birthing session during my Saturn Return (around the age of 30 when we all experience this major astrological transit/turning point) my entire business plan came to me. During that first year of business I did close to 30 art/craft shows with my handpainted silk art clothing, journals, silk earrings, prints, originals and cards. Then I got into the Sawdust Art Festival in Laguna Beach and things took off like CRAZY! I did that show for 7 years until we moved to Temecula, California where we currently live.

Below are my LuLu in Laguna CATS to start with and dogs, fairies and mermaids are being added daily.

Wild Lotus Gallery in Temecula, California now offering the Art of Kathy Crabbe

I am very pleased to announce that Wild Lotus, a lovely new art gallery and  gift shop in Temecula, California is now carrying my LuLu cards and prints.  This shop is owned and operated by Anju and her family who are originally from Nepal.  They stock crafts and culture from their homeland such as Buddhist statues, mandala paintings, clothing, crystals and the work of local artists from Temecula and area.  They are very kind and helpful and I hope you stop on by and support the local community and especially the work of local artists.

Saying goodbye to my babies (silk paintings that is!)

I'm letting my babies go! Mystic Arts Gallery in Laguna Beach will be exhibiting 13 of my LuLu in Laguna original silks this summer. These are my TOP TOP favorites; paintings I've held onto since the '90's when I first painted them in Laguna Beach. I've managed to sell 1,000's of prints from them - thank you all! I also am not able to get my favorite picture frames anymore  which I lovingly handpaint to match the originals. My silk paintings are no longer babies anymore - they are teens (!) but they are finally leaving the nest and I am sad (and happy); perhaps bittersweet is the word? To view all 12 originals for sale please click here.

About Kathy Crabbe

I am a self taught intuitive artist currently living and working in the desert valley of Southern California surrounded by ancient oaks and an elfin forest. 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.  

March's Cat

Happy March! The black cat painting above is called March's Cat and was inspired by a wild kitty who adopted me on the last night of a two month long art festival in Laguna Beach. One of my fellow exhibitors was carrying him in her arms after capturing him in a trap on the Sawdust Art Festival grounds. Luis aka 'Pin' grew up to be a shy, slightly clumsy, but still wild black cat that we lost eventually to the coyotes, but I think that's how he would have wanted it.

Prints and cards of March's Cat can be purchased at KathyCrabbeArt.com

ABOUT LULU IN LAGUNA PAINTINGS LuLu in Laguna Originals are painted with silk dyes and watercolors by artist, Kathy Crabbe. She was inspired by living in mermaidalicious Laguna Beach, California for 8 years where she spent her time frolicking with red-headed mermaids, water-dogs, garden cats and artists as well as exhibiting her art every summer at the Sawdust Art Festival. Kathy's fairies were inspired by spending time in nature amongst wildflowers, ancient oaks and elfin forests in Southern California's inland valleys.
