I worked carefully to make the focus his great mane,his "crown of courage". A lion's mane, and the size of it, is so important for the male lion in the wild. A large mane, healthy and long, can bring on the admiration of many beautiful lionesses that are looking for a strong and courageous male. She is looking for the special male who can give her healthy and strong cubs. The bigger the mane, the bigger the lion seems to be, which is very enticing to the females in the area. It also comes in handy to scare off any younger or smaller lions that might try to come into his territory.

Psalm 46:2 - Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.

Tatanka, an original Bison oil painting by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

    Tatanka, means Bison in the Native American Indian language. 

This big guy seems to be standing his ground, maybe chasing away rival males from his harem. My husband, younger son, and I traveled to the Midwestern states a few years back. One of these big guys decided to run a little on the main road- in the state park traffic. Thankfully, everyone knew to stop driving until he made up his mind where he wanted to go. It was such a neat experience to watch his huge, muscular beauty,enjoying his freedom to roam.We were also able to see the female (cows) with their babies, although they stayed further away, protecting their young from curious tourist.

Tatanka is painted on an 8" x 8" x 0.50" stretched canvas, all sides painted in a dark hue so it can hang unframed, or place it in your favorite frame.Prices are listed on my blog photo list, or please visit my website- for prices and more information @ sandracutrer.com.

I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makes me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8.

Crown of Courage $575.00- by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

"Crown of Courage"

What is courage?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia,the Symbolism for courage is the lion. It is sometimes seen as a depiction of Christ's triumph over sin (see Revelation 5:5). It also is a symbol in some cultures as a savior of the people who live in a community with sin and corruption. There are so many examples of everyday courage in the world we live in. We know that as long as the Lord's holy spirit is on the earth, we will see good things,true courage,Godly pride, and love.It is when God takes his spirit out of here, that we will lack courage- of any kind, no love will exist, and no peace will be found. God wants us each to have the courage it takes to live for HIM, do what is right, and know that we will have our reward one day-soon! This big guy is painted in oils on a large, 24"x30"x1.5" stretched gallery wrapped canvas (all sides are painted). $575.00

Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”
