Chief Wannabee by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

Painted from one of my many photos. This child loved to dress up in his American Indian-style headdress and clothing. I enjoyed (immensely) his "attitude" when I asked him to pose as a strong Indian brave. He took to his part well, don't you think!

Chief  Wannabee is painted in oils on a 12"x12"x2" stretched linen canvas
SOLD . Prints are available @ Sandra-Cutrer.artistwebsites.com.

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 1 John 4:7 KJV
If you have a favorite photo you would like painted, please contact me. I love doing commissions.

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.

Mescalero Apache American Indian drawing by artist, Sandra Reeves Cutrer

This is a quick sketch of my friend, Raymond. He was a proud Mescalero Apache, and good friend, He truly loved helping everyone, always volunteering for any good cause, especially Cub and Boy Scouts.

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.

First Lady $125.00- by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

Prima Donna, or "First Lady"

If you watch a cat closely, you can learn a lot about how life should be. They don't worry about life- or death, they stretch after every nap (great for the muscles), expect their food from their master-on time( thank you for our food,Lord), know when to back off, pressuring no one. They can take love, but prefer to give it on their own terms. I've had many dogs and cats through-out my life, and much prefer cats. Don't get me wrong, dogs are great in so many ways,but a cat seems to fit my personality like a nice pair of gloves.
Whether you are a cat lover, or dog lover, or both, animals are God's precious creatures. We should be kind to all, and appreciate each ones gift to mankind. 12" x 12" x 1" gallery wrapped canvas- sides painted a dark hue.

Fleur-de-lis by Texas artist, Sandra Reeves Cutrer

WOW- time has flown by! Where did February go? I am still waiting on a winter that never came to southeast TX! We are feeling blessed from several days of rain a while back,with more predicted to come this week. After such a drought last year, we are happy for every inch of the wet stuff! I have been busy in my studio. Painting this commission, "Fleur-de-lis",  a very different subject than what I feel my art is headed toward, but still fun. I love trying new things. Painting something different is like wearing a new hat-it may not be part of my every day wardrobe-but it's a most welcome change!

Three's a Crowd! Artist Sandra Reeves Cutrer

Oh La-La... there is no gift better than spending some relaxing time with your better half... and there is no room for any company....
I tell my husband all of the time that life seems to be backward. Not that we didn't find some time together, but when we were younger, had kids all in our (very small) house, it seemed we had to get in the car and drive off to some out-of-the-way place just to have that "extra" time alone as a couple . Well, the kids are grown, we moved over 400 miles aways from most everyone in the family ( no unexpected drop-ins over here), and have a bigger house. But, there seems to not be much Oh La-La time- between all of his long hours at work, my work (art and taking care of everything at home that he doesn't have time for- like grocery shopping, cleaning, cooking, paying bills, yard work,phone calls,banking,running errands... you know), and just being worn-out by the time showers have been taken, and we flop down for some "Me time". So looking forward to my husband's retirement ... I don't know about the Oh La-La time, but I sure am hoping for more time to paint, while he takes care of some the above mentioned chores...LOL! 24" x 36" canvas, ready to frame.

I am my lover's, and he claims me as his own. Song of Solomon 7:10

Bravado,an Indian Brave $425.00- by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

Bravado, an Indian Brave.

Original painting in oils on a 16"x20" stretched canvas. $425.00

I love to paint American Indians, and animals. Both have such a free spirit. Both only ask that they be able to live among the beauty of God's earth. Both appreciate the wonder of all God's gifts- freely taking, and freely giving back in their own unique ways. Free to roam, Free to love. Neither had, nor will ever have, an easy life. They don't ask for that, nor would they understand such things. They know that survival is about learning, growing, paying attention to their surroundings, and looking out for family and friends. We could all learn from the ways of the true Native American Indians, and all of God's wonderful creation.
Acts 17:29 "Therefore since we are God's offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone--an image made by man's design and skill.
