"Flamingo Flare" by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

These are some hard times for many all over the world lately, whether it be from tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, earthquakes, or man himself causing chaos and confusion, remember God is not the author of confusion, but rather peace. HE is in the mist of the fire in your life and in your surroundings. Trust him in all things. He cares for you and me. He knows our needs and will supply them right on time. 

“Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? Matthew 6:26

"Paradise Pond" by Sandra Reeves Cutrer $275.00

This oil painting was created on a 16"x20" stretched linen canvas.
I have always thought ducks were pretty, but I know to keep my distance from most because of being chased by a few on several different occasions! While growing up, we had our share of animals, including a few ducks.One evening my Dad had gone out to feed and water them.As soon as he turned on the water,he found the hose had been transformed into a sort of drip hose- with hundreds of cuts throughout the length of it. His first thought was that his two sons had practiced throwing their new pocket knives right onto the hose! Right after their spanking, here came the ducks waddling up to the hose, showing my Dad exactly how those holes had been made when they proceeded to bite on that "weird looking device",which they may have mistaken for a snake! But, later we had a sweet little pet duck we promptly named Cuckoo because he walked in circles, so all was forgiven.

In God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do unto me?- Psalm 56:11

"Missed Stream" by Sandra Reeves Cutrer of Lake Jackson,TX

"Missed Stream" is a quick study done on paper with acrylics. It was a painting challenge, based on the famous artist,James McNeill Whistler; limiting my palette to a single blue, a single yellow, and a white.

Whistler "labored with pigments so thin as to be merely tinted turpentine". -- Writer John Updike (in "Whistler in the Dark", from Still Looking: Essays on American Art, p.95).


I actually made a very wet glaze of white to make it a little more "misty" since I kept making the values a little too dark in a few areas. I have been told to never paint a white glaze on anything, so I broke the "rule" and did what I thought was best! Everything we paint can't be a master piece, but it can be a part of who we are. Just like life, we try, we win, we lose, we fall,we run on the mountain tops, we sit in the valleys, we learn, we stumble. But these are all pieces in our life "puzzle". God is in control,all right, you just have to take the time to pray- talk to him, and listen. Ah,listening. That is a gift these days!

"Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance"- Proverbs 1:5, NIV
