I have always thought ducks were so pretty. While growing up, we had our share of animals, including a few ducks.One evening my Dad had gone out to feed and water them.As soon as he turned on the water,he found the hose had been transformed into a sort of drip hose- with hundreds of cuts throughout the length of it. His first thought was that my two sons had practiced throwing their new pocket knives right onto the hose! Right after their spanking, here came the ducks waddling up to the hose, showing my Dad exactly how those holes had been made when they proceeded to bite on that "weird looking device",which they may have mistaken for a snake! But, later we had a sweet little pet duck we promptly named Cuckoo because he walked in circles, so all was forgiven, and we kept our ducks for a long time.
In God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do unto me?- Psalm 56:11

Third of my "Washed Ashore" series by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

Third of my "Washed Ashore" series, painted on a 12"x12" wrap around canvas (all sides painted), in mixed media . As you can see this one isn't a sea shell, but starfish and sea shells are neighbors! $75.00 for all 3 paintings- NO shipping if mailed in the USA!
Did you realize that water is mentioned 722 times in the scriptures? That is less than God, Jesus, heaven, or even the word love, but many more times than faith, hope, prayer or even worship. The first time water is mentioned in the scripture is found in Genesis 1:2. From the beginning of the Bible to the end water flows through the pages of scripture. It is full of passages that link water to Gods creating, blessing and saving work. This alone shows me the importance of water in our spiritual lives.Water symbolizes Gods Word in many places throughout the Bible. If, as believers, we continue to take the bible and water for granted and contaminate it, waste or spoil it, we will see that we will have difficulties in our physical bodies as well as in our spiritual lives.When a believer in Jesus accepts the bible and water, cherishes, respects and honors them both as the gifts of God that are freely given to us, we will find our reservoirs full. These are just a few of the both literal and figurative uses of water in the scripture. I believe that God has something to say to us.
Isaiah 12:2,3 Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation."

Second of "Washed Ashore"series by Sandra Reeves Cutrer
This is my second of a series called "Washed Ashore". Mixed media on an 8"x8" wrapped canvas (all sides painted). Once this was completely dry I painted a different seashell in the middle. I am having a blast painting the water,beach,sand and sea shells, especially after all of the extremely cold weather we've recently experienced. The seashells remind me there will be summers on the beach again soon, since spring time has finally arrived!
You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalms 16: 11

First of "Washed Ashore" series by Sandra Reeves Cutrer
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 as I do, always returning to Nana and Pop's house with a load of seashells and sand in their buckets. $35.00 plus shipping and insurance.

" Prima Donna" Siamese cat by Sandra Reeves Cutrer
Ms Bella is a "Prima Donna" (first lady), the second biggest supporter of my painting efforts (my husband Bob being my #1 fan). She is in my studio nearly every day, although she doesn't always stay, mind you. She has bigger things to do when the smell of turps and oils gets a might too strong, or my “inspirational” music, which can be classical all the way to down-home banjo picking, becomes a wee bit too loud for her sensitive ears (she prefers soft country).
When we are outside, in the patio studio, she seems to become a little light headed from the warm sunshine, (or maybe she is being hypnotized by the birds), but I get more vibes towards her approval on certain subjects that I paint (like painting her majesty). Other times it seems she is just becomes frazzled about my long hours of work without some much needed play time with her,where upon she will roll her favorite pink ball at my feet.And then there are just times when she just all out relaxes about the whole long process of making sure that I get my work done. If only our lives were as simple as an indoor, slightly spoiled, and rather demanding feline. But, I love that girl…
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13 (NIV)

"The Orange" by Sandra Reeves Cutrer $150.00
"The Orange" is painted in oils on an 8"x10" artist board. $150.00. Free shipping inside the USA if bought from me directly- contact me at sandrasart777@aol.com or Etsy.com. Price includes packaging,insurance,and signature confirmation.
I love apples, especially sweet ones, like Macintosh,Rome, or Jonathan. I thought it would be fun to line up a few of my Macintosh apples, then on impulse, I grabbed one of my navel oranges. Right off I could tell which would stand-out, as in " take-charge" [of the painting], be the dominate one, and maybe a little showy? And, without a doubt, quiet different from the rest of the "crowd". I have friends who are so much like this orange- always wearing bright colors, or bold patterns, and lots of huge jewelry. I've tried dressing like these friends, but I always go back to what I am more comfortable (and secure) with. We are all unique, and we should be comfortable being who God made us to be. He gives us all the freedom to make choices- good and bad ones. He loves who we are (no,not our sin), and we should never feel the need to act like anyone else.

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb." Psalm 139:13
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:14
