Double Trouble two zebras close-up oil painting by Sandra Cutrer

FINISHED!

"Double Trouble", an original oil painting on a professional gallery wrapped canvas, 24" x 24" x2.5" (deep), so no frame is needed!

These beautiful zebras reside in the Birmingham, Alabama, zoo. I have taken many photos in the past, hoping for a shot like the one I used to create this oil painting. Don't they look to be planning something? Maybe a way to influence the newest female zebra!

Two zebras in the works by Sandra Cutrer

I am working on this newest painting using another deep (2.5") wrapped canvas, 24" x 24" square. I really like these deep-sided canvases, top quality "3-D". The size is great, and really gives me plenty of space to create my focal point- the eyes! Painting the sides a dark hue gives it plenty of "frame" on the sides without taking away form the beauty of the animals faces. I really enjoy taking photos of animals up close, and especially being able to paint from those photos. I work on cropping them, getting the best composition possible in order to paint something that speaks to, not only me as the artist, but to the viewer. Animals need to be not only painted, photographed, and enjoyed., but cared for, loved, and kept from being endangered! I thought these zebras at the Birmingham,AL zoo were pure beauties! Stay with me to see the fianl painting-soon! If you'd like to purchase this painting, please contact me at sandrasart777@aol.com, or from my web site- sandracutrer.com.

Lying in the Moonlight a lion on black canvas in bright colors

https://www.etsy.com/shop/SandraCutrerFineArt?ref=seller-platform-mcnav

"Lying in the Moonlight", an original oil painting of a majestic lion on black canvas in bright colors. Although I photographed this beautiful beast in the day light, I decided to use my artistic license to make it more about the darkness of night, with his lonely beauty being spotlighted by beautiful moonlight in a sort of hazy atmosphere. I felt his peace, his wonder, and his power while I painted this piece. I hope you can see it, and feel it, too!

Thank you for looking at my work, and reading my blog. My website can be found @ Sandra Cutrer Fine Art or: sandracutrer.com

Flamboyant a close up of a pink flamingo in oils

Finished! "Flamboyant", a close-up of a very pink flamingo that had its eye on me at The Birmingham,AL Zoo. I really had to work, work,work on this one to get it just right. I wanted to make sure his beauty stood out, and yet he made a statement about his independence and the fearlessness I would quickly be shown if I came just a little too close-that eye meant business! It is a 24" x 24" x 2.5" gallery wrapped canvas. All of the thick sides are painted a dark hue, so there is no need to frame. I love this painting. The colors really pop, and make a wonderful conversation piece for any room. Check out my prices below, and my other works for sell. My web site is ; Sandra Cutrer Fine Art- or sandracutrer.com.
Thank you for reading my blog, and looking at my work. I hope you've enjoyed watching "Flamboyant" evolve!

About Me

As a young child, I always had a deep desire to draw and paint. All throughout elementary and high school I excelled in all of my art classes. Prompted by my high school art teacher,I attended our local Fine Arts Academy, and later college with a focus in art and art history. I have been blessed to be able to travel,visiting many art museums,including DC,NYC, and Paris,France. My work has been purchased by collectors all across the USA, and I am super pleased when my buyers tell me my work always looks better in person!

Although I refer to myself mainly as a self taught artist; over the course of many years I have taken private lessons and workshops from several talented artists in LA, TX, and AL.

I have worked with charcoal, graphite and colored pencils, pen and ink, and pastels, although preferring portrait studies in oils and acrylics. Being part Native American Indian, my heart is set on painting and learning as much as I can about these interesting people,their rich culture,and custom of using vibrant colors. I enjoy painting with heavy impasto,creating abstracts,and collages, that seem to give my paint brushes the freedom to pull me toward each new creation. My work is probably the most relaxing part of my life, and I am so glad to be back doing what I love! I believe a painting is in everything around us. We just have to look for what is truly there!
