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 SOLDprints 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."

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.

Fruit of the Vine-oils- 24' x 30' x1.5", gallery wrapped canvas ( all sides painted. Can be framed or left unframed) $350.00. Free shipping inside the USA if purchased from this site or Etsy.com. Price includes ins. and shipping confirmation. Contact me at  sandrasart777@aol.com

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