Three's A Crowd by Sandra Reeves Cutrer











Three's A Crowd! An original oil painting on a large 24"x 36" stretched canvas, ready to frame and hang in your favorite spot!


 The colors are brilliant, and help show the fine details of the Macaws and their gorgeous plumage. The "courting" pair seem to be saying," Ah, can't you see we are already an item!"

Did you know that Macaws mate for life, and have lived as a couple for up to 50 years!

The humble will see their God at work and be glad. Let all who seek God's help be encouraged.Psalm 69:32

"Strutting My Stuff," Rooster painting by Sandra Reeves Cutrer



"Strutting My Stuff" is an original oil painting on a 12"x 12" x 1" gallery wrapped canvas. All sides are painted in a dark hue, so he can be left unframed if desired.

I love painting roosters, and have many roosters and hens in my personal collection. Not only are roosters beautiful, but they are such fun to watch! Yes, they can be a pain in the tail-feathers when they do their loud wake up call, they are bossy, rather sure-of-themselves, and cocky (pardon the pun), but they have a way about them that says,"Lay off my back and don't get in my way", causing one due respect. I mean, they aren't big animals, but you would think they are if one takes off chasing at your heels with that sharp beak!

All of God's creatures are a gift, each species unique, and beautiful in its own way. Each serves His purpose.

"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)

Nebit- Leopard UNFINISHED by Sandra Reeves Cutrer



Nebit
  Variant of Egyptian Nebibit, meaning leopard.

Still on my easel and very wet, but a good friend and I are on our way to another animal photo shoot for new reference materials,so I will have to finish him later.

Leopards, graceful and powerful large cats closely related to lions, tigers, and jaguars. They live in sub-Saharan Africa, northeast Africa, Central Asia, India, and China. Many of their populations are endangered, especially outside of Africa. Another species we must protect for future generations!
See you soon, with the finished Nebit!
Thanks for reading my blog and looking at my work. Have a blessed weekend.

Rings of Fire-Owl painting by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

"Rings of Fire" is a large barred owl, painted in oils. He was a commissioned painting. Although SOLD-  prints may be purchased at Sandra-Cutrer.artistwebsites.com

I think his eyes say it all! These birds are nocturnal hunters, bold, tough, and their keen eyesight is way beyond the abilities of the human eye. Because of the way their eye sockets sit inside their skull, the owl is unable to roll his eyeballs around like people, so therefore the neck moves instead. I think they are beautiful creatures, and demand respect. Barred owls require large expanses of mature forests, and are adversely affected by forest fragmentation. Within fragmented woodlots, barred owls are increasingly vulnerable to human disturbance and predation by great horned owls. Hopefully, with a little more concern and help, our future generations will be able to enjoy these beautiful creatures!


Psalm 96, verses 11-13:

Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
let the sea resound, and all that is in it.
Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
Let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.
Let all creation rejoice before the LORD, for he comes, he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his faithfulness.

"Don't I Know You?" by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

 I had a blast painting this piece- looser than most of my work. Does she look like someone you know? Is she hiding her identity so she won't be followed? Or following someone she doesn't want to reveal herself to? Painted on gallery wrapped, stretched canvas- 10"x 20" x .5"-painted on sides so she can be hung unframed, or added to your favorite frame. She would make a great conversation piece for any room!
$125.00-Free shipping inside the USA!

“And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.” (Genesis 3:8).You can hide from man, but not from God.

"Light of Grace" by artist, Sandra Reeves Cutrer



 It doesn’t matter how strong we think we are or how self-reliant we are, or how much we feel we are in control of our life, God will allow something to happen to us to remind us of our frailty. God wants us to recognize our own weakness. Everyday that we live is a day given to us by God, to do what is right, to obey him. We aren't here to just be happy, or in control. If that were so, we would not have pain, tears, trials, nor even death. But we do have hope for a place that will be like that, because of his grace!

Light of Grace- painted in oils, with added texture, on a gallery wrapped canvas ( all sides painted)-$325.00. No shipping charge from this site- if mailed in the USA.Includes insurance and a signature confirmation when received.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10, "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong."

Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
