Prima Donna, a Siamese cat portrait by Sandra R Cutrer

Prima Donna, or "First Lady"

If you watch a cats and dogs, especially, you can learn a lot about how life should be. They don't worry about living- or dying- just being alive for the moment is all they know. I've had many dogs and cats in my life, and each one had their own special place in my heart and in this world; each being  unique in so many fascinating ways!. Animals are full of love, giving those they love their all.

Whether you are a cat lover, dog lover, or both, animals are God's precious creatures. We should be kind to all, and appreciate each one's gift to mankind.

Prima Donna is painted on a 12" x 12" x 1" gallery wrapped canvas- all sides painted a dark hue, so there is no need to frame.

I love taking commissions, and have done several through accepting online photos of the animals. Please contact me with any questions about purchasing this piece, or having your own loving pet portrait created in oils! I will work with you on prices, and offer a layaway plan just right for you.

Nebit, a Leopard Portrait in oils by Sandra R Cutrer

Nebit, a variant of the Egyptian word for leopard. A close-up and personal portrait of one of the most powerful wild cats. Leopards are loners, not belonging to a pride, pack, or family of its own kind. I think it is amazing that these cats can carry their prey- three times heavier than themselves- up a tree so others, like lions and hyenas don't steal it from them!

 I love painting wild life portraits, and showing the details of each one's uniqueness. I hope you'll enjoy the extra photos- showing how I did my layers of oil paint to create Nebit!

Painted on a professional artist board, 9" x 12", ready for framing. So much detail, so realistic, this painting would look great in any room! For pricing, please scroll my blog's main page photos.

I love taking commissions. Please contact me at sandrasart777@aol.com

"The Orange" with MacIntosh Apples by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

"The Orange" is painted in oils on an 8"x10" artist board. Please contact me at sandrasart777@aol.com. 

I love apples, especially sweet ones, like Macintosh,Rome, or Jonathan.  I thought it would be fun to line up a few of my Macintosh apples, then on impulse, I grabbed one of my navel oranges. Right off I could tell which would stand-out, as in " take-charge" [of the painting], be the dominate one, and maybe a little showy? And, without a doubt, quiet different from the rest of the "crowd".

We are all unique, and we should be comfortable being who God made us to be. He gives us all the freedom to make choices- good and bad ones. He loves who we are (no,not our sin), and we should never feel the need to act like anyone else.

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb." Psalm 139:13
"Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." Luke 12:7

Today, let's be happy with who we are, what we look like, and the gifts that our heavenly Father has given us.

"Big Red", a Texas Longhorn by Sandra R Cutrer

UPDATE- SOLD!!!

"Big Red" is an original oil painting of a large Texas Longhorn bull. I applied the oils thickly and loosely with palette knives on a 24" x 30" x 1.5" gallery wrapped canvas. All sides are painted a dark hue, so you can easily hang Big Red without a frame! By clicking on the close up shots you should be able to view the thickness of the paint.

My husband and I love the long horned cattle. We sometimes ride around in the country areas, looking for these beauties to photograph. Once in awhile, I get a very friendly ( or very inquisitive) bull, or cow, that will come up really close to inspect my camera. I try to back away, although I am always safely behind barbed wire or steel fences, I don't want to have to chase after one who might end up being a fast "snitch"!

Thank you for reading my blog and looking at my work. If you are interested in purchasing this piece, or any of my other paintings, please scroll through my blog photos and listed prices. I can be contacted at: sandrasart777@aol.com . I love taking commissions!

"Rosie Bell", a horned cow painting by Sandra R Cutrer

SOLD! "Rosie Bell" is a palette knife painting. I used thick oil paint on a 6" x 6" x 1.5" stretched-wrapped canvas (all sides will be painted a dark hue).

My mom and dad had a little over eight acres years ago, and tried their hand at raising cows. It was fun for awhile, feeding the calves large bottles of milk, and watching them grow. One of my mother's favorite cows was named Rosie. My mom liked Rosie, but Rosie liked to play rough, and "bump" mom, or anyone who came in the field. We knew she was only playing, but she was too big to play so rough, not knowing she far out-weighed any of us!

In memory of Rosie, Bell, Hondo, Billy Boy,Rusty, and all of those other over-grown calves who enjoyed play time.

"Racer" a Zebra Portrait in oils by Sandra R Cutrer

 I finished my zebra painting today, and I am very pleased. Photos were taken back in May at the zoo in Baton Rouge,LA. My nephew just contacted me, letting me know that one of the zebras had her colt this week! I'd like to think this was the zebra that gave birth (or the father)! A great excuse for me to take a trip back to Baton Rouge, to visit family, and see the newest zebra!

I really enjoyed the challenge of keeping the stripes correct, but really, there are no two zebras with exact same stripes, so who would know...well, I would (grin)! My OCD would have kicked in and never allowed me to not paint this beautiful zebra as he/she was.

Thank you for reading my blog, and looking at my work.

Zebra lay-in oils on canvas by Sandra R Cutrer

 Here is a peek at my new Zebra painting. Just the lay-in started. I hope to work on it some more today. Painting it in oils on a 6" x  6" x 1.5" wrapped canvas- all sides will be painted a dark hue, no need to frame.

Zebras seem to be very curious. When I visited the Baton Rouge,LA zoo, these guys were tops for coming closer to check out my camera!

 A fun fact about Zebras is, they can run up to 40 miles per hour and baby zebras can run an hour after they are born!

Tiger painting in the making by Sandra R Cutrer

I am having so much fun painting on several  6" x 6" x1.5" (wrapped) canvases this late few days. Wild life is one of my greatest loves! I enjoy painting detail, and often chose to paint animal portraits, with special emphasis to the animal's eyes. Truly, the eyes are the windows to the soul!

Hopefully, I will finish this one soon and it will be ready for a new owner who loves animals as much as I do!

"Afternoon Delight" a duck painting by Sandra R Cutrer

"Afternoon Delight" is a small (6" x 6") oil painting on a gallery wrapped canvas, all sides painted a dark hue.
This painting was done from one of my many photos, taken at the Houston Zoo. Getting in close, I went for a shot that, once painted, would still convey the beauty of the duck's soft feathers, and its beautiful dark eye peeking out at me. I am sure it wasn't thrilled that I disturbed its delightful afternoon nap!

The Gathering by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

"The Gathering", a group of young cattle who look to be getting ready to take a family portrait. I think they were more interested in being fed, though!OOPS! This piece is SOLD! I would love to paint one similar to this one especially for you. Please contact me for more details!

A mixture of dark hues created a "black" frame on the front of the canvas. I think I like how it compliments the colors in the cattle, and since I painted this on a gallery- wrap around canvas, there is no need to frame at all! The canvas is an 8" x 16", painted in oils.

Wild and Free, a tiger portrait by Sandra R Cutrer

"Wild and Free" a tiger portrait. Painted on a professional art board, 8" x 10" ready to frame! $300.00 plus $15.00 shipping & insurance charges.

Don't you love tigers? Being a cat lover, tigers are one of my favorite felines. Tough, fast, big, and attitude! They are born to be free, and wild. I enjoy seeing hem in zoos, but deep in my heart I know they are miserable and need to be free to roam in the jungles and grasses where they are meant to live. Sadly, most zoos have small enclosures, where they pace back and forth, longing for more room. They are amazing animals, and I enjoyed painting the eyes, as they seemed to be looking right into my soul.

Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

"Wings of Freedom" by S.R. Cutrer

My suitcases are unpacked- again. Three weeks ago we flew back from a family vacation in Washington, D.C. Yesterday we returned from a quick, but fun trip to west TX. It was my birthday, and my husband knows I love to travel. Yes, it takes me out of my beloved studio, and yes, I do get off of my healthy-eating plan a lot, but there is nothing like throwing a few things into my luggage and heading for parts previously un-investigated (by me and my hubby). What beautiful parts of the country we saw! So many hills and valleys, such green grass, beautiful farms and ranches. We enjoyed talking with people, and visiting a super nice antique car dealership, among the many things we packed into our getaway.

I am posting my original painting of our wonderful bald eagle,along with the American and Texas flags because I want to make sure that everyone knows I am proud to be an American! Yes, and a  proud Texan! We do have our many "flaws" in this country (and it seems the gap is widening from the freedoms I grew up knowing) but we are still a great nation- under GOD. Let's keep it that way.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, unto the republic for which it stands, one nation, under GOD, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

HAPPY FOURTH! LET FREEDOM RING!!!!

Sandra R Cutrer
