"Washed Ashore" first of a series, by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

"Washed Ashore" is painted with mixed media on an 8"x 8" gallery wrapped (all sides painted) stretched canvas.

I had such fun painting this one,that I created two more for a series of various seashells and a starfish.

Seashells remind me of the many times I've gone walking on the beach. From a small child to a middle aged adult, I don't think I will ever tire of hunting for that "perfect" or rare seashell. Our granddaughters enjoy exploring our beach just as much, always returning to Nana and Pop's house with a load of seashells and sand in their buckets. This is a fun  triptych for only $75.00- NO shipping if mailed in the USA!

He is like a father to us, tender and sympathetic to those who reverence him. For he knows we are but dust- Psalm 103:13-14

"Falling Leaves" in oils by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

Although this painting is now part of a private collection in New Orleans,LA, it remains one of my most favorite. Done in oils on a 16"x20" stretched linen canvas, with palette knives and several thick layers for added texture. I love the rich colors and the rhythm of the work.The leaves seem to be floating off of the deep red background

"Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus." Revelation 14:12 ESV

Collage "Under the Window" by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

I love doing collages. They are so much fun and great Stress relievers! This one is done on a 16"x20" stretched linen canvas with acrylics and paper.


Do you have stress in your life? Give it to God, then get out and do something for someone else! This is a quick way to forget your own troubles for awhile and look at someone else's. Apostle Paul, who endured many horrible things, wrote that his trial was bigger than his ability to endure, but then he offers an explanation. “But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.” (2 Corinthians 1:9) He recognized that this overwhelming time of trouble, he couldn’t handle alone, had caused him to focus more on the power of God, and allow God to work His perfect will. Are you being challenged beyond your ability to endure? Don’t believe that you can do it alone! You can’t! Jesus said, “apart from me you can do nothing!” Nothing! Don’t try anything today without relying on the power of God! He knows you are weak, but He is available to help, so talk to Him about everything! When we are at our weakest, He is strong!

"Wind in My Wings" Angel painting SOLD

Yesterday, I was working on an on going painting that I have put many hours into. I messed up, started most of the whole canvas over, and still wasn't happy with the results. So, I put it to the side (actually I hid it behind some things on top of my china cabinet) until I feel that I can deal with it again. Painting can be a tremendous joy when every thing is going like we artist plan, but it can become such a struggle and even cause heartache and tension when we have worked for many hours on something that just isn't working out. Life can be like that,too. I really don't enjoy stressful situations, turmoil, or anything in my day that gets me off of my "planned" schedule...but guess what? As my husband likes to remind me," That's life!" When things go wrong or the opposite of what I had hoped for, it only reminds me how really small and weak I am.When I am weak,God is strong. So, I stop what I am doing and I go to my Rock-Jesus- for strength and encouragement- whether it's for a painting that I can't seem to conquer, or a family crisis,health problem, or just feeling down about life's pressures.
And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus  Philippians 4:19 (NLT)

"Light of Grace"by Sandra Reeves Cutrer $325.00

"Light of Grace" is painted on a 16"x20"x1" wrap around canvas (all sides painted), in oils with added texture.
I created "Light of Grace" with a direction of what it might feel like passing from life to death to heaven " in the blink of an eye". She looks as if she may be thinking of looking back, but not quiet. Maybe she is wondering what wonderful things are in store, but still has some vague memory of her very recent life before such sudden changes occurred. Is the light above her the "grace" in my title? Or, is her name Grace? Is this about God's grace to us all? I will allow the viewer to decide that. FREE shipping inside the USA.

For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows [present] grace and favor and [future] glory (honor, splendor, and heavenly bliss)! No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. Psalm 84: 11
