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

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.

Blessings,

"Atsila" Native American Indian abstraction by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

"Atsila" means fire in Cherokee. This is an oil painting done in the expressionism style, on an 11"x14" stretched linen canvas, ready to be framed and enjoyed in your favorite room. No shipping charge (the price includes insurance,packaging, and a signature confirmation when purchase is delivered).
Like their distant cousins the Iroquois, the Cherokee Indians had an even division of power between men and women. Cherokee men were in charge of hunting, war, and diplomacy. Cherokee women were in charge of farming, property, and family. Men made political decisions for the tribe, and women made social decisions for the clans. Chiefs were men, and landowners were women. Both genders took part in storytelling, artwork and music, and traditional medicine. Today,Cherokee women can be chiefs also.

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name. (NASB)

Native American Indian, original oil painting, figurative, Akecheta "Fighter" by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

Akecheta means "Warrior" in the Sioux language. This Chief is painted in oils on a 9" x 12" stretched canvas.

I enjoy painting Native American Indians, and find it satisfying, but challenging to capture their determination, great pride, and love for their people. I am proud to be part of the Choctaw-Cherokee family.

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!
