Best Friends forever...with a golden pup

All the dogs that I paint were inspired by my beautiful mutts; a mix of Golden Retriever and Australian Shepherd. I love this mix; smart, obedient, friendly and fun. Yesterday, I realized I've been painting so many cats, 'but what about dog paintings?' I asked myself. It's about time! So here you go; a girl and her best friend; my newest painting on pine board and on a wooden pendant (necklace) - enjoy!  To view more  "Magical Folk Art" please check out my shop: http://KathyCrabbeArt.com Best Friends, painting on wood in progress by Kathy Crabbe

It's Spring Kitty Time!

Kitty's are now out in force, so please adopt one if you can from your local Humane Society or Cat Rescue!  I painted this silver tabby on a painted green pine board as part of my brand new Magical Folk Art series  - enjoy. img662

Trying out Sculpey...a dairy goddess & winged cat!

I'm trying out Sculpey for the first time...making a dairy goddess based upon a pipe clay Dairy Goddess from Brittany that I discovered in a book titled Roles of the Northern Goddess by Hilda Ellis Davidson (plus a peek at my newest cat necklace in the background - can you spot it?) I attempted to make a winged dog (below) which morphed into a cat with a mer-tail by the time I was done. Sculpey cat and goddess by Kathy Crabbe

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!
