Tuesday

What a wonderful day today was! Filled with sunshine and a warmer temp!
I painted  some more on my bird painting, and finished the final coating on several other paintings that have been drying for awhile.And,  even touched up a few more of my works. It was so great to be out there, enjoying my CD's ( about the only time I have for listening to music) and my art work. Some days I just think my studio is my little piece of heaven- just me and my kitty, Ms Bella Rue out there... but there are still those days when everything that I paint looks awful and I wonder why I torture myself with art!!! Such is the life of an artist. Gotta love us! :)
Blessings and happy painting to my fellow painters!

"A Lot of Bull" by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

 It is a dark and rainy "blue" Monday. Since my art studio is out on my screened and vinyl window patio, dark days are a big problem for me to get any painting done without the much needed sunshine that I normally get. On rainy days like this one, I try to catch up on my emails,search for future painting material, and complete a few undone chores around my house, or catch up on my sketching.

I was pleased to get a nice email  about my "A Lot of Bull" longhorn painting. I have pasted the story, and  hope you will enjoy it as much as I did!

"The Watusi is an amazing animal. We have had our bull for about 10 years. He had his horns tipped and is the only breed we know of that sharpened them back up. He is very protective of his new lady love, a red Watusi heifer. He is amazing, when I fed them cubes he waited until she came up to the trough to start eating. A gentleman, lol. Our neighbor likes it when he bellers. He sounds like a male elk."
Thanks for the story,Kathy!
A Lot of Bull is painted in oils on a 24"x 30"x 1.5" wrap around canvas, so no need for framing.

Wednesday

Just getting back from a long weekend in the TX Hill Country. I didn't get to paint, as I was "stuck" in a hotel room while my husband went hunting. Don’t feel sorry for me, as I enjoyed the peaceful days, lying in bed with a good book, while it was rainy and cold outside! Lots of chores to catch up on today, but tomorrow should be a great painting day! I did get a few great photos while we were on our trip, so I have some new materials to draw from, and some fresh ideas. It is always great to get away for a few days. Also, I bought a new digital camera so that I can take better photos for my work!

God made a wonderful world, so chocked full of amazing colors, textures, and pure beauty! We are so blessed!!!



Have a wonderful second half of the week everyone, and happy painting to my fellow artist.

Burrrrr, it is cold today in south TX!
Yesterday I finished a monochromatic painting of our Snowshoe Siamese kitty, Ms Bella. She doesn't care for the camera much, but I did manage to snap a few good shots to paint from. She is painted on a 12"x12", gallery wrapped stretched linen canvas, in acrylics. I chose blue for my monochrome painting because of her beautiful blue eyes, and bluish tinted fur. She is truly a warm hearted kitty that we rescued 4 years ago. I think she rescued us,too!


Blessings and Happy Painting to my fellow artist,

Monday

Happy Monday morning!
First, I have changed my email contact to sandrasart777@AOL.com. Secondly,I finally stopped painting on my lion, "Crown of Bravery".Other than the final coating, I am "finished" ! Sometimes it is so hard to feel like you are "finished" with a painting. My husband, bless his heart, is great about telling me ( warning me?) I had better put down the paint brush on certain works. Most artist tend to over "do", always trying to find the perfect stopping point!
He is painted in oils on a 24x30,1 1/2"thick gallery wrapped,stretched linen canvas ( no need to frame). $400.00
 Please feel free to join and keep up with my most recent blogs and paintings! Blessings and Happy New Year!
