New Stuff in the making by Sandra R Cutrer

 

Yes, I am working. I just have a lot of extra pots in the fire lately.
I decided to get back into my drawing, so I have been busy setting up a small "studio" area in my computer/office room-separate from my painting studio. I can't look at my drawing without wanting to work on it, nor can I look at my painting without wanting to work on it. This meant I had no choice but to separate the two! I love drawing. I love painting. But, as I wrote, lots of stuff going on  all the time. I am not a fast painter anyway, so when "life" gets in the way, life must be tended to before my love of art. I plan to take more photos- as neither work is finished. It helps me to post in stages, and I hope my viewers enjoy it,too!



 For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me in earnest, you will find me when you seek me. Jeremiah 29:11-13

Methai and Baylor, elephants in oils by Sandra R Cutrer

Methai and Baylor, two Asian Elephants at the Houston Zoo in Texas, enjoying a cool drink of water from their new pond. Mother and son are painted on a gallery wrapped stretched canvas, size 12" x 12" x 1". All sides will be painted a dark hue, so it can hang in your favorite room unframed or framed. Please scroll through my works to see all prices.

According to the Houston Zoo Elephant web site, "Asian elephants are the second largest land mammal in the world and one of the most intelligent animals on earth. Unfortunately, it is also one of the world’s most endangered species." This is so sad. I am thankful that there are devoted people,agencies, and zoos ( among other places) that are concerned and taking great steps to insure our future generations enjoy these magnificent Asian elephants!

Colossians 1:16-17 - For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. (NIV)

Abstract oils on canvas by Sandra R Cutrer

Abstract in oils by Sandra R. Cutrer.

Painted  with thick oils on a stretched wrapped canvas-12" x 12" x 1.5"- all sides painted a dark hue. This painting was super therapeutic for me. When you have a lot going on, as in a ton of unwanted stuff on your plate- things unexpected, some times heart-breaking, and there seems to be no way to unburden yourself, "Pray for God's perfect peace, then paint" is my motto! I have sold several abstract paintings. I don't know if the people who buy them can see the heavy emotions that I put into them, or they see their own emotions and a story, but either way it makes me happy that I paint.

All of my prices are listed on this blog's photo listing, or please visit my website @ sandracutrer.com

The LORD Jesus promised us tribulation, while we were in this world. "These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world" (John 16:33).

"Rocky Mountain Warrior", a ram portrait in oils by Sandra R Cutrer

"Rocky Mountain Warrior" is an original oil portrait of a large ram. I have painted in as much detail as possible to convey the rough texture of his thick coarse fur. These big guys are fighters, using their horns against other males to fight for leadership among the easy going female sheep. Built for climbing and cold weather, the ram is a beautiful example of God's many creatures who are to be respected and taken care of for our future generations. Painted in oils on a professional art board, ready for your favorite frame. Prices are listed on the main art work viewing.

"When the Trumpets Sound" three young elephants in oils

"When the Trumpets Sound" is an original oil painting of three young elephants showing off their trumpeting after coming in from a long day of play, and practicing the lessons their mother's taught them about being elephants! I love elephants, finding them amazing animals, super smart, and very loving- if not provoked. They are fun to photograph and paint, and even greater fun to watch.
Thank you for looking at my work and reading my blog! All  prices are listed on my photo listing on this blog, or please visit my blog @ sandracutrer.com.

Please look at all of my work, and if you have any questions or interested in a commissioned painting of your favorite animal or loving pet, contact me at: sandrasart777@aol.com


In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.

"A Lot of Bull", a long horned Watusi in oils by Sandra R Cutrer

What a hot day. This August heat is tough on everyone- humans and animals alike! This big guy should be headed to the nearest water trough or pond!

I was pleased to get a nice email about my "A Lot of Bull" longhorn painting. I have pasted the story, and hope you will enjoy it as much as I did!

"The Watusi is an amazing animal. We have had our bull for about 10 years. He had his horns tipped and is the only breed we know of that sharpened them back up. He is very protective of his new lady love, a red Watusi heifer. He is amazing, when I fed them cubes he waited until she came up to the trough to start eating. A gentleman, lol. Our neighbor likes it when he bellers..he sounds like a male elk."
Thanks for the story,Kathy!

A Lot of Bull is painted in oils on a 24"x30"x1.5" wrap around canvas ( all sides are painted), so no need for framing. $225.00 plus shipping.

Fruit of the Vine, a still life in oils by Sandra R Cutrer

"Fruit of the Vine", a still life painted in oils on a  24" x 30" 1.5" stretched wrapped canvas- all sides painted, I could use a glass of that wine about now...

So, I haven't blogged in 5 days. :(  It took me two days just to re-design my blog, and work on some other art business that I needed to catch up on. I don't know who stated that technology makes everything so much faster! I find technology great for some things, but the more there is, the more it eats up my time!!! Whatever happened to quiet days in the studio... LOL. I find myself rushing to the studio, spending less time there than I do on my computer... but, I know I am hooked and I can't live without my P.C., cell phone, face book, websites and blogs... what am I complaining about???

May God give you of the dew of heaven and of the fatness of the earth and plenty of grain and wine

"Methai" an elephant painting by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

"Methai", one of the many Indian elephants that make their home at the Houston Zoo, is painted in oils on an 8"x 10" pastel board in a painterly style.

I believe that the Creator of millions of different species of animals, birds, insects and fish is a God who loves variety and adores all of His creation. A careful study of the Bible convinces me that Heaven will be richer in everything, including animal life. God said it has not entered in to the heart of man what He has in store for us. I love animals, and so does the one who created them. I even dream of seeing my beloved pets that I have lost in this life.

"This plan, which God will complete when the time is right, is to bring all creation together, everything in heaven and on earth, with Christ as head." Ephesians 1:10

Mr and Mrs Don Key, two donkeys in oils by Sandra R Cutrer

A very pregnant Mrs Don Key and her very excited "husband" met me at the fence when I tried to capture a few photos. Although I'd like think they were excited to see me, I think they were both looking for a special treat- like an apple or a sweet carrot!

Mr and Mrs Don Key are painted in oils on a 16 x 20 inch canvas- ready to frame. $125.00 plus $15.00 shipping and insurance inside the USA.

Matthew 1: 23 "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel, "Which means God with us." (NIV)

Tatanka, a Bison Portrait in oils by Sandra R Cutrer

Tatanka, means Bison in the Native American Indian language. 
This big guy seems to be standing his ground, maybe chasing away rival males from his harem. My husband, younger son, and I traveled to the Midwestern states a few years back. A bison similar to this one decided to run a little on the main road- in the state park traffic. Thankfully, everyone knew to stop driving until he made up his mind where he wanted to go!

Tatanka is painted on an 8" x 8" x 0.50" stretched canvas, with all sides painted in a dark hue- making it easy to hang him unframed, or placed in your favorite frame.Prices are listed on my photo listing- on this blog or please visit my website @ sandracutrer.com for more information.

I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makes me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8.
