"The Orange" with MacIntosh Apples by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

"The Orange" is painted in oils on an 8"x10" artist board. Please contact me at sandrasart777@aol.com. 

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".

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
"Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." Luke 12:7

Today, let's be happy with who we are, what we look like, and the gifts that our heavenly Father has given us.

"Big Red", a Texas Longhorn by Sandra R Cutrer

UPDATE- SOLD!!!

"Big Red" is an original oil painting of a large Texas Longhorn bull. I applied the oils thickly and loosely with palette knives on a 24" x 30" x 1.5" gallery wrapped canvas. All sides are painted a dark hue, so you can easily hang Big Red without a frame! By clicking on the close up shots you should be able to view the thickness of the paint.

My husband and I love the long horned cattle. We sometimes ride around in the country areas, looking for these beauties to photograph. Once in awhile, I get a very friendly ( or very inquisitive) bull, or cow, that will come up really close to inspect my camera. I try to back away, although I am always safely behind barbed wire or steel fences, I don't want to have to chase after one who might end up being a fast "snitch"!

"Rosie Bell", a horned cow painting by Sandra R Cutrer

SOLD! "Rosie Bell" is a palette knife painting. I used thick oil paint on a 6" x 6" x 1.5" stretched-wrapped canvas (all sides will be painted a dark hue).

My mom and dad had a little over eight acres years ago, and tried their hand at raising cows. It was fun for awhile, feeding the calves large bottles of milk, and watching them grow. One of my mother's favorite cows was named Rosie. My mom liked Rosie, but Rosie liked to play rough, and "bump" mom, or anyone who came in the field. We knew she was only playing, but she was too big to play so rough, not knowing she far out-weighed any of us!

In memory of Rosie, Bell, Hondo, Billy Boy,Rusty, and all of those other over-grown calves who enjoyed play time.

"Racer" a Zebra Portrait in oils by Sandra R Cutrer

 I finished my zebra painting today, and I am very pleased. Photos were taken back in May at the zoo in Baton Rouge,LA. My nephew just contacted me, letting me know that one of the zebras had her colt this week! I'd like to think this was the zebra that gave birth (or the father)! A great excuse for me to take a trip back to Baton Rouge, to visit family, and see the newest zebra!

I really enjoyed the challenge of keeping the stripes correct, but really, there are no two zebras with exact same stripes, so who would know...well, I would (grin)! My OCD would have kicked in and never allowed me to not paint this beautiful zebra as he/she was.

Thank you for reading my blog, and looking at my work.

Zebra lay-in oils on canvas by Sandra R Cutrer

 Here is a peek at my new Zebra painting. Just the lay-in started. I hope to work on it some more today. Painting it in oils on a 6" x  6" x 1.5" wrapped canvas- all sides will be painted a dark hue, no need to frame.

Zebras seem to be very curious. When I visited the Baton Rouge,LA zoo, these guys were tops for coming closer to check out my camera!

 A fun fact about Zebras is, they can run up to 40 miles per hour and baby zebras can run an hour after they are born!

Tiger Portrait by Sandra Reeves Cutrer

Fresh off of my easel, and still very wet. I am happy with this small but very detailed (6" x 6" x 1.5" stretched wrapped canvas) painting in oils. I think I have caught his beauty, strength, and total masculinity.

SOLD!

A fun fact about tigers:

The heaviest tiger recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records is a 1,025-pound male Siberian tiger.
