Savanna Overlook, a rhino painting in stages by Sandra R Cutrer

 

 

This is a commissioned work, but I thought you would enjoy the process- from a quick sketch to the finished product. Of course there were several more stages with small changes, then a few corrections here and there, but mainly it went very smoothly.

I told my client that I never thought I would "fall in love with rhinos", but I sure did while painting this. There is something about really- I mean really- looking at an animal, or in this case, the adult female and her calf.

My intentions were to paint it with thicker paint strokes, but as I went, I developed a passion to see these guys more realistic, but still maintain a painterly style.

I hope you will enjoy my work. Thank you for reading my blog and especially joining as a follower!

"Rosie Bell", a horned cow painting by Sandra R Cutrer

SOLD! "Rosie Bell" is a palette knife painting. I used thick oil paint on a 6" x 6" x 1.5" stretched-wrapped canvas (all sides will be painted a dark hue).

My mom and dad had a little over eight acres years ago, and tried their hand at raising cows. It was fun for awhile, feeding the calves large bottles of milk, and watching them grow. One of my mother's favorite cows was named Rosie. My mom liked Rosie, but Rosie liked to play rough, and "bump" mom, or anyone who came in the field. We knew she was only playing, but she was too big to play so rough, not knowing she far out-weighed any of us!

In memory of Rosie, Bell, Hondo, Billy Boy,Rusty, and all of those other over-grown calves who enjoyed play time.
