Palette knife landscape painting by Sandra Reeves Cutrer $125.00

This is a palette knife painting worked on a 16"x20" stretched linen canvas.

I love the mountains and always feel like I am "home" when I go. My younger son recently moved to Birmingham, AL. Although there aren't any huge mountains there, like the Colorado Rockies, or the Smoky Mts. of Tennessee, it was beautiful at Christmas when we went. I can hardly wait to go back for a visit, especially after it warms up and the mountains are filled with greenery and sun-filled days!

John 1:3,10 “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made….He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.” (KJV)

"Don't I Know You?" by Sandra Reeves Cutrer $125.00

Close-up shot

I thought I would go to my patio/outdoor studio for the last couple of days, to allow my brush and acrylics "talk to me". I had a blast painting this piece- looser than most of my work. I really enjoy how quickly acrylics dry, which makes it a different challenge than oils. You must work faster and concentrate more on where you want your colors to go since they will stay there,not like oils that can be easily pushed around on your canvas for days. 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?  $95.00-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.

"Yokohama" is painted on a 12" x 24" x1" stretched canvas. I actually painted the sides, so it isn't necessary to frame. I had a lot of fun painting these beautiful roosters.

"Fruit of the Vine" by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

I love the flow of this piece, but especially the spiritual meaning that I got from painting it. In my heart I think of the leaves, their colors turning as the fall grabs at what remains of each life.The grapes, ripe and begging to be chosen. The wine glass, standing empty, but waiting to hold the "gift" from the labor of the vine. Like the grapes and leaves, our bodies age and gear toward the fall of our lives, with winter coming soon enough. We want to know that we have done something useful,hoping we have made a difference toward good in this world. We want to be able to pour out our gifts of knowledge,wisdom, love and lessons from mistakes we have learned before the end of our harvest.We want to share and know there was a real purpose for our life.

Fruit of the Vine

Today is the day that the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it!

"When the Wind Blows" miniature beach painting by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

This is a little miniature, painted in oils on a 5"x4" stretched canvas.It is a reminder of the many times I spent on the Pass Christian beach which is down the road from Biloxi,MS. So many times hurricanes have blown in, destroying so many of the beautiful homes and businesses; but the people are strong and dedicated to their beautiful beach property, always rebuilding with much faith and determination.

I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 ESV

"Atsila" expressionism painting by Sandra Reeves Cutrer $125.00

I am really enjoying expressive painting. Expressive or Expressionism painting isn't about the actual expressions on a person or animal's face, but more about emotions of the painter,showing bold colors and strokes. This one is named "Atsila", which means fire in the Cherokee language. I have posted below a good defintion about the Expressionism style taken from About.com.


Definition: Expressionism is a term used to describe a movement of the early 20th century (c.1905-20) that was most prominent in Germany and Austria. The aims of an Expressionist were to express emotions through the use of vivid colors and strong, distorted lines, rather than capturing a likeness or reality. Their work was characterized by intense, violent, and non-naturalistic colors, painted in a textural manner.

Expressionism is the opposite of Impressionism, which emphasized painting what the artist observed. The work of Vincent van Gogh had a lot of influence on artists who are now classified as Expressionists.
