The Gathering by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

"The Gathering", a group of young cattle who look to be getting ready to take a family portrait. I think they were more interested in being fed, though!OOPS! This piece is SOLD! I would love to paint one similar to this one especially for you. Please contact me for more details!

A mixture of dark hues created a "black" frame on the front of the canvas. I think I like how it compliments the colors in the cattle, and since I painted this on a gallery- wrap around canvas, there is no need to frame at all! The canvas is an 8" x 16", painted in oils.

Romans 6:23 ESV    
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Wild and Free, a tiger portrait by Sandra R Cutrer

"Wild and Free" a tiger portrait. Painted on a professional art board, 8" x 10" ready to frame! $300.00 plus $15.00 shipping & insurance charges.

Don't you love tigers? Being a cat lover, tigers are one of my favorite felines. Tough, fast, big, and attitude! They are born to be free, and wild. I enjoy seeing hem in zoos, but deep in my heart I know they are miserable and need to be free to roam in the jungles and grasses where they are meant to live. Sadly, most zoos have small enclosures, where they pace back and forth, longing for more room. They are amazing animals, and I enjoyed painting the eyes, as they seemed to be looking right into my soul.

Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

"Wings of Freedom" by S.R. Cutrer


My suitcases are unpacked- again. Three weeks ago we flew back from a family vacation in Washington, D.C. Yesterday we returned from a quick, but fun trip to west TX. It was my birthday, and my husband knows I love to travel. Yes, it takes me out of my beloved studio, and yes, I do get off of my healthy-eating plan a lot, but there is nothing like throwing a few things into my luggage and heading for parts previously un-investigated (by me and my hubby). What beautiful parts of the country we saw! So many hills and valleys, such green grass, beautiful farms and ranches. We enjoyed talking with people, and visiting a super nice antique car dealership, among the many things we packed into our getaway.

I am posting my original painting of our wonderful bald eagle,along with the American and Texas flags because I want to make sure that everyone knows I am proud to be an American! Yes, and a  proud Texan! We do have our many "flaws" in this country (and it seems the gap is widening from the freedoms I grew up knowing) but we are still a great nation- under GOD. Let's keep it that way.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, unto the republic for which it stands, one nation, under GOD, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
HAPPY FOURTH! LET FREEDOM RING!!!!

Crown of Courage, a lion portrait by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

"Crown of Courage" is a large, original oil painting of a lion on a 24 x 30 x 1.5 inch gallery wrapped canvas- all sides are painted a continuation of the background colors. $ 575.00-plus $ 35.00 shipping,insurance, and a signature confirmation when your painting arrives. A higher shipping charge applies to Hawaii, Alaska, and Canada. Please contact me with any questions.
I worked carefully to make the focus his great mane,his "crown of courage". A lion's mane, and the size of it, is so important for the male lion in the wild. A large mane, healthy and long, can bring on the admiration of many beautiful lionesses that are looking for a strong and courageous male. She is looking for the special male who can give her healthy and strong cubs. The bigger the mane, the bigger the lion seems to be, which is very enticing to the females in the area. It also comes in handy to scare off any younger or smaller lions that might try to come into his territory.
Psalm 46:2 - Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.

Tiger in the Grass by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

"Tiger in the Grass" is a palette knife painting, in oils, on a stretched 12" x 12" x 1" gallery wrapped canvas- SOLD!

I had the best time painting this piece with a thick acrylic lay-in, and then topped with high-quality oils. Don't you love his eyes! He looks to be searching for something to play with, more than something to eat. Maybe, he is looking through the grasses while trying to  hide from his sibling, or his mother... we can always be hopeful that he was enjoying some "kitten-in-the-grass" time, just being younger for a little while always does a heart good!

Thank you for reading my blog and looking at my work.Although this piece is sold, I love taking commissions.Please view my other work on my blog. Prints of this painting may be purchased by going to Sandra-Cutrer.artistwebsites.com. The site also offers posters, canvas prints, or high quality paper prints, cards, and more.

Psalm 37:3 - Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

Rocky Mountain Warrior by Wildlife Artist Sandra Reeves Cutrer


"Rocky Mountain Warrior" is an original oil portrait of a large ram. I have painted in as much detail as possible to convey the rough texture of his thick coarse fur. These big guys are fighters, using their horns against other males to fight for leadership among the easy going female sheep. Built for climbing and cold weather, the ram is a beautiful example of God's many creatures who are to be respected and taken care of for our future generations. Painted in oils on a professional art board, ready for your favorite frame. $325.00 plus shipping and insurance.

Queen of the Beast a Lioness by Wildlife Artist Sandra Reeves Cutrer

A beautiful girl, living at the Houston,TX Zoo. She seemed pretty content, playing around with her male companion. This lioness is painted in oils on a small 5" x 7" canvas, ready to frame and hang in your favorite room. For prices see my photo listing on my blog, or view my website @ sandracutrer.com.
I really enjoy going to the Houston,TX Zoo for a few hours of visiting with the animals, checking on their newest habitats, and photographing them in their various "poses"-LOL! Actually, she was such a lady for me that day, as she seemed to realize that I was a returning visitor. At other times she rolls over and won't allow me one good shot. You have to love these awesome cats,with strong minds of their own!
