Working on a very close-up portrait of a flamingo by Sandra Cutrer



I am  painting on another large canvas. This one is 24" x 24" x 2.5" deep. A gallery wrapped 3D smooth canvas, painting it in oils. A month ago I was in Birmingham,AL visiting family, and took another wonderful trip to their awesome zoo. I was blessed to capture several shots of flamingos. This one was close-up, and such fun. Can you tell he had his "eye" on me!

I enjoy the challenge of painting animals. It always makes it easier to have great photos. I take as many as possible, then pick and chose, sometimes mixing several together to get the composition that I am really wanting. I think this one makes a clear statement of how awesome these large birds are! Their coloring never ceases to make me happy.

Do you have some favorite photos that you'd love to have turned into an original oil painting? Please contact me for pricing and any questions you might have.
