"A Moment in Paris" by Sandra Reeves Cutrer SOLD!

"A Moment in Paris"

Paris was everything you've ever hear about if you haven't yet seen it for yourself. It is truly the country of romance,history, and art. With so much to do and see, plus all of the glorious smells of fresh bread and cafes' on every corner, who wouldn’t be happy in Paris! It was breathtaking each and every morning and (if this is possible), more so every night. Paris is a place that begs you to come back soon when you say your hurried goodbyes. I dream of going back and staying for a month or two. We were treated like family at every place we went. With so much to see; my feet would beg me to stop and rest, but there were only so many hours in our short week to see this magnificent city!

I especially enjoyed one night, as my son and I looked out over our balcony window; the rain was hitting the leaves on the tree that grew against the hotel wall, bringing in such  peaceful sounds and earthy aromas. We were looking out through the rain, watching the colored lights change on the Eiffel Tower, when I happened to look down and catch glimpses of the ladies rushing from their evening shopping. The street lamps threw out their beacons of light, ushering them home to prepare their evening meal.

And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. II Peter 1:19

"Sand and Seahorses" by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

Sand and Sea Horses is painted in oils on an 11"x14" stretched linen canvas, ready to frame and hang in your favorite spot, or a great gift for a friend. $125.00- NO SHIPPING CHARGES if mailed inside the USA!

 My husband and I live about 10 minutes from the beach here in southeast Texas. I love to go walking on the sand, especially on our granite-lined Jetty. It's so much fun to see the various fish and seafood caught by the many various races of people who love come to fish here. One of my all time favorite trips to the beach is when the waves are up. I am not happy when hurricanes are coming toward the gulf, as usually we need to evacuate, but we try to make it to the beach before leaving so we can watch all of the surfers hit the big waves. Every once in awhile we can spot someone riding their horse on the beach. I have always thought this was such a romantic thing- riding on the beach with the love of your life. And no, there are no large dunes here, but I loved the ones I've seen on the Florida beaches we've been able to visit.

Unfinished painting of Calla Lilies by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

I started this painting awhile back and I have been allowing the oils to dry while I think about where I want to go with this. I don't normally show anyone my work until I feel it is complete, but I thought I would look at it myself (on my blog) to see if anything "popped" for me. I can see a few quick fixes I will have to make, then I will add some more to the back ground and maybe a bird???

We shall see!

"Flamingo Flare" by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

I painted "Flamingo Flare" from a photograph taken at our nearby "Moody Gardens" in Galveston,Texas. It is on an 8"x8"  stretched linen canvas. All sides are painted, so it may be left unframed, or placed in your favorite frame. $65.00-includes shipping,packaging, insurance, and signature confirmation if mailed inside the USA!

These are some hard times for many all over the world lately, whether it be from tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, earthquakes, or man himself causing chaos and confusion, remember God is not the author of confusion, but rather peace. HE is in the mist of the fire in your life and in your surroundings. Trust him in all things. He cares for you and me. He knows our needs and will supply them right on time. 

“Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? Matthew 6:26

"Linked" Abstract painting by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

"Linked" is an abstract painting done in acrylics with added texture, on a gallery wrapped 16"x20"x2" stretched linen canvas.$125.00. No shipping charges is shipped within the USA!

 I started with a lay-in of realistic earth tones, and then brushed in a few copper hi-lights. My creative juices were flowing toward some type of foaming motion, with circles or “bubbles” flowing upward; some linking together, some shaking lose. It reminds me of family and friends- linking us together in groups. At times we need the strength that "links" we have with others can create, other times we must shoot-for-the-stars on our own. We can test that, and know that if the need arises, we can fall back on the strength we recieve from others who care for us, and of course our loving God.

 1 John 1:7 “But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.”

"Honor to the Apache" by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

This is a quick sketch of my friend, Raymond. He is a proud Mescalero Apache. And a super sweet guy who loves helping everyone, always volunteering for any good cause, especially Cub and Boy Scouts. I have taken around 50+ photographs of him, and sketched from them several times. I hope to soon paint his portrait in oils.

Jesus said, “Do not judge others, so that God will not judge you” (Matthew 7:1). Many people practice bigotry toward others as a way of feeling superior. Even some of those who call themselves Christians do this. But this is not the way of God. It isn't always easy to be a true Christian. Very few people today would be willing to make the kind of sacrifices that others have made for their faith. But we do not have to hate, commit acts of violence,be cruel with our words or actions. As true Christian's, we don't have to gossip, tell lies, or say anything negative about others. We can and should strive to live our lives as peacefully as possible – as God would want us to do.

Collage "Under the Window" by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

I love doing collages. They are so much fun and great Stress relievers! This one is done on a 16"x20" stretched linen canvas with acrylics and paper.


Do you have stress in your life? Give it to God, then get out and do something for someone else! This is a quick way to forget your own troubles for awhile and look at someone else's. Apostle Paul, who endured many horrible things, wrote that his trial was bigger than his ability to endure, but then he offers an explanation. “But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.” (2 Corinthians 1:9) He recognized that this overwhelming time of trouble, he couldn’t handle alone, had caused him to focus more on the power of God, and allow God to work His perfect will. Are you being challenged beyond your ability to endure? Don’t believe that you can do it alone! You can’t! Jesus said, “apart from me you can do nothing!” Nothing! Don’t try anything today without relying on the power of God! He knows you are weak, but He is available to help, so talk to Him about everything! When we are at our weakest, He is strong!
