"Ah, Three's a Crowd!" by Sandra Reeves Cutrer



I am finished! I had such a wonderful time painting this bold and bright Macaw painting with lots of details. Such cheerful colors made me so happy and excited to go to my studio each days for hours. I painted this one in oils, on a 24"x 36" stretched canvas. It is ready to frame and hang.

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
זה היום עשה יהוה נגילה ונשמחה בו׃ (Hebrew Bible)

God loves all of His children and creatures!

Untitled and Unfinished Macaws by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

UNFINISHED!
I've missed posting for about a week or so. So much going on around me. I have been painting, just slow going as I try to fit it in to my much too busy days! Summer is upon us, gas prices are soaring, things are happening all around us in the news that will be a part of our history,tying in and reminding us of the horrors from 9/11. My mind wants to relax and get away from the turmoil! So, I have decided to stop work on a few other paintings for now, and focus on these beautiful birds. So vivid in color, so happy in their environment. So content. No matter what goes on around them, they are happy to be alive and healthy, singing and talking, while their hearts swell with joy from one another's company. Thank you Jesus, in the mist of all of the world's uproar and chaos, I know where my peace comes from.

Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.
Deuteronomy 31:6 (NKJV)

"Washed Ashore" first of a series, by Sandra Reeves Cutrer



"Washed Ashore" is painted with mixed media on an 8"x 8" gallery wrapped (all sides painted) stretched canvas.

I had such fun painting this one,that I created two more for a series of various seashells and a starfish.

Seashells remind me of the many times I've gone walking on the beach. From a small child to a middle aged adult, I don't think I will ever tire of hunting for that "perfect" or rare seashell. Our granddaughters enjoy exploring our beach just as much, always returning to Nana and Pop's house with a load of seashells and sand in their buckets. This is a fun  triptych for only $75.00- NO shipping if mailed in the USA!

He is like a father to us, tender and sympathetic to those who reverence him. For he knows we are but dust- Psalm 103:13-14

"Strutting My Stuff" by Sandra Reeves Cutrer $95.00

Who wouldn't fall in love with the beautiful colors of all of the many varieties of roosters that God has made. I have come upon a few roosters who seem to know just how important they are, acting so "cocky" and sure of themselves as the "ruler of the roost"!
Some of our more famous forefathers raised roosters. Among them: George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Henry Clay, just to name a few. Today, many respected people such as lawyers, doctors, and working class families continue to raise these magnificent birds. While the press tends to focus on an unsavory element of society, who breeds roosters strictly for illegal fighting, the fact is that the vast majority of breeders are ordinary people, interested in the majesty and beauty of these fine animals.

“Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.” Matthew 26:34

"On the Lookout" Baltimore Orioles by Sandra Reeves Cutrer



With its brilliant orange and black plumage, the Baltimore Oriole's arrival is eagerly awaited by birders each spring migration. Its preference for open areas and tall trees makes them a common inhabitant of parks and suburban areas. They are found in central Texas, and I have heard they especially love grape jelly. They are one of my favorite species of birds.

Many thanks to Larry Ditto for his written permission to use one of his many bird photos for this painting I have named, "On the Lookout". Larry has been a nature photographer for over 3 decades, with his focus on South Texas and Northeast Mexico, with photos appearing in National Geographic books, Field & Stream, Natural History, Sports Afield and other magazines for many years. Audubon calendars, Texas Parks &Wildlife Magazine, National Wildlife, and Texas Highways regularly feature his work. Thanks again Larry!

Painted in oils on a 16" x 20"x 1.5" gallery wrapped canvas (sides painted,no need to frame). Scroll through my listings for prices!

OOPS! Just sold! I'd love to create one similar to it especially for you! Please contact me through this blog, or at my email address : sandrasart777@aol.com


Look at the birds! They don't worry about what to eat- they don't sow or reap or store up food- for your heavenly Father feeds them...Matthew 6:26-27,TLB

"No Other Love" by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

 This drawing, "No Other Love" reflects the love that a mother haves for her child. I don't think there is any other love comparable to that of a mother and her child.

This is an 11"x14" drawing of my niece and great niece done in graphite/pencils. I have always enjoyed drawing,especially people. Prints of original drawing are available at : Sandra-Cutrer.artistwebsites.com
 I always treasured time spent watching my babies sleep.Such sweetness and innocence. Love your babies while they are there with you,spend quality time with them, because you will blink and they will be gone all too soon. How fast they grow up and have lives and babies of their own.

Blessings to you and yours,
