"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.

Rocky Mountain Warrior by Wildlife Artist Sandra Reeves Cutrer

"Rocky Mountain Warrior" is an original oil portrait of a large ram. I have painted in as much detail as possible to convey the rough texture of his thick coarse fur. These big guys are fighters, using their horns against other males to fight for leadership among the easy going female sheep. Built for climbing and cold weather, the ram is a beautiful example of God's many creatures who are to be respected and taken care of for our future generations. Painted in oils on a professional art board, ready for your favorite frame. $325.00 plus shipping and insurance.

Texas Longhorn by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

UNFINISHED!  Texas Longhorn bull  painted in oils on a 24" x 30" x 1.25" gallery wrapped canvas. All sides will be painted a dark hue, so this big guy can easily be hung unframed. I still have work to do, but I thought I would post the process.

No one can live in Texas without noticing fields or pastures that are dotted with these big bulls, and their cows. Their extra long and curvy horns are beautiful,but they are a bold statement for uninvited trespassers!

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.  1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV

Continuing the Texas Longhorn Bull lay-in by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

 Continuing the lay-in for my large oil painting of my big Texas Longhorn bull. What a big guy. What a lot of paint! What fun!
My husband is carefully watching the progress of this one, as I think he has his eye on it for his office at work. Hmm. We shall see.

I think about the animals, and how time means nothing to them. They live for the moment. In total innocence. In so many ways I wish we humans could live our lives like that. Instead, we know too much, and will be accountable for how we live. I listen to music when I paint, and the song ,"Live Like You Were Dying" was just on my CD player. How would I change today if I knew I were dying? Such a strange thought, but we are all dying- everyday! We can never re-live today, yesterday, or 30 seconds ago. Every day is a gift- a present from God. Oh, how we should indeed live like we are dying, and live like we are accountable for each day- because we truly are!

You`re blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God. You`re blessed when you follow his directions, Doing your best to find him. That`s right- you don`t go off on your own; you walk straight along the road he set. Psalm 119:4

Starting the lay- in for a Texas Longhorn by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

This is the start of my newest painting, a Texas Longhorn bull. I'm painting him in oils on a large  gallery wrapped canvas.All the thick sides will be painted a dark hue, so there is no need to frame- just hang him in your favorite room!

I got carried away working and didn't take a photo of the bull drawn into the brown before I started putting in another layer of background and a little detail color.

It never ceases to amaze me as I "birth"a painting! I used to be paranoid if anyone tried to look at my work before it was finished. I think with time and experience that fear has left- well, mostly. If I am drawing something and I'm not happy with the drawing , then I don't really care for on-lookers. Oil paints are so forgiving and easily manipulated. I' m hoping you won't be disappointed with the final painting- I don't think you will!

Then the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man's nostrils, and the man became a living person.
