Naja, an original lion portrait in bright oils

Naja, means strong in the African language. I think that is the perfect name for this strong big cat, and the bold colored oils that I used to create him with!

Naja is painted on an 8" x 10" stretched canvas. The sides are painted the background color, so he can be left unframed or easily added to your favorite frame.

I love lions and continue to be saddened that there are so few remaining in the wilds of Africa. All of the big cats are slowly being killed off, as well as many other species of wild animals all over the world. I hope to continue painting these beautiful creatures, and visit them in their natural habitat one of these days, soon, before they are all gone!

"Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours." 1 Chronicles 29:11

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

Queen of the Beast a Lioness by Wildlife Artist Sandra Reeves Cutrer

A beautiful girl, living at the Houston,TX Zoo. She seemed pretty content, playing around with her male companion. This lioness is painted in oils on a small 5" x 7" canvas, ready to frame and hang in your favorite room. For prices see my photo listing on my blog, or view my website @ sandracutrer.com.

I really enjoy going to the Houston,TX Zoo for a few hours of visiting with the animals, checking on their newest habitats, and photographing them in their various "poses"-LOL! Actually, she was such a lady for me that day, as she seemed to realize that I was a returning visitor. At other times she rolls over and won't allow me one good shot. You have to love these awesome cats,with strong minds of their own!

Blessings,

Cinnamon and Sugar by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

"Cinnamon and Sugar" are two sweet giraffes. As you can tell, Sugar is trying to catch up with his mother. Giraffes are such amazing animals. I think I have always respected them for their height and grace.
Unfortunately, more than half the giraffe calves in the wild never become adults as they fall prey to predators like large cats. If they do reach adulthood, the average life expectancy of a giraffe is about 25 years in the wild and more than 30 in captivity. A fun fact about giraffes is they sleep for between 20 minutes to 2 hours a day. Even when they sleep for the longer period, they do so in 20-minute naps.

Painted in oils on an 8" x 16" x 0.50" wrapped canvas. Sides are painted, so this painting can be hung  unframed or easily framed. All of my prices are listed on my blog photo listing, or please visit my website @ sandracutrer.com for pricing and more information.

Nebit- Leopard UNFINISHED by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

Nebit
  Variant of Egyptian Nebibit, meaning leopard.

Still on my easel and very wet, but a good friend and I are on our way to another animal photo shoot for new reference materials,so I will have to finish him later.

Leopards, graceful and powerful large cats closely related to lions, tigers, and jaguars. They live in sub-Saharan Africa, northeast Africa, Central Asia, India, and China. Many of their populations are endangered, especially outside of Africa. Another species we must protect for future generations!

See you soon, with the finished Nebit!
Thanks for reading my blog and looking at my work. Have a blessed weekend.

Crown of Courage $575.00- by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

"Crown of Courage"

What is courage?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia,the Symbolism for courage is the lion. It is sometimes seen as a depiction of Christ's triumph over sin (see Revelation 5:5). It also is a symbol in some cultures as a savior of the people who live in a community with sin and corruption. There are so many examples of everyday courage in the world we live in. We know that as long as the Lord's holy spirit is on the earth, we will see good things,true courage,Godly pride, and love.It is when God takes his spirit out of here, that we will lack courage- of any kind, no love will exist, and no peace will be found. God wants us each to have the courage it takes to live for HIM, do what is right, and know that we will have our reward one day-soon! This big guy is painted in oils on a large, 24"x30"x1.5" stretched gallery wrapped canvas (all sides are painted). $575.00

Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”
