"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.

Blessings,

"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

Methai and Baylor,Asian Elephants (the finished painting) by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

I finished this painting today and feel that I have shown the beauty and family devotion of these great creatures!
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)

"Methai" elephant in oils by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

"Methai" is one of the many Indian elephants that make their home at the Houston Zoo.

My husband and I took a trip a few weeks back, bringing along my newest digital camera. Most of the animals did not "behave" for photos, but I was blessed to catch several good shots of the elephants. They were so frisky that day, since it was a warm break from weeks of very cold weather. The calves were super frisky, which made it hard to catch even one good shot of those 200-350 pound babies.

"Methai" is painted in oils on an 8"x 10" clay board. Contact me at sandrasart777@aol.com

Sometimes I hear people questioning as to whether God is going to have animals in Heaven. As a Christian, I believe that heaven just wouldn't be heaven without animals. 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 than the most paradise-like part of earth we've ever seen so far. 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.

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!
