Wiggles, the dog- finished commissioned work by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

"Wiggles" is finished and drying, soon to be shipped to Miss Wiggles' owners. The oil painting is done on an 11 x 14" professional art board in top quality oil paints. I love taking commissions and letting the client see the process of my work. This client is well pleased, which makes me super happy. I hope you'll enjoy looking at this sweet rescue dog's portrait.

Wiggles , the dog continues ...

"Wiggles" is coming along nicely. If she were here, I think she would be delighted with the process. Of course I am always wanting to rush my work, but I have learned that my best work always comes from being patient!
It is a beautiful Memorial Day today, in south east Texas. I have family over for the weekend and a few days over that, so I am feeling blessed. We are all so blessed if we live in America, especially. Our worst day may be some one's best day in a war-torn, terrorist controlled country. Although we struggle with differences in this country's government and leadership, as a whole we still remain "One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all". With so much honor and much gratitude to those they gave their all- their own blood, so we might stand with our hand over our hearts.

Blessings,

Wiggles, the dog in stages of creation by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

Step #4 in the "creation" stages of Wiggles, the dog, commissioned painting.

After steps 1-3, I allowed Wiggles to dry for a day to keep his colors vibrant.It is so easy to keep painting when you are enjoying your work, but easier still to create mud from paint that is too wet. I am painting him on an 11" x14" Gesso prepped art board in oils.
I sent these step creation photos to the owner of Wiggles yesterday, and she is very pleased, already able to see her dog's personality coming out. Well, that pleases me. Stay with me as I post Ms Wiggles' stages of creation. If you are interested in having your pet's portrait done, or any other subject, please contact me at: sandrasart777@aol.com for commissions and prices.

Enjoy the holiday weekend, and remember why we are still a free country. Thank you to all of our military -past and present. Thanks,Dad.

Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.

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!
