The Month of June, Can I Get an Amen, or an Oh Me?


We all know the month of June means spring has finished her work, everything is green,blooming at its fullest (if not finished for the year), weddings are taking place (June still ranks as having most weddings out of any month of the year)....

and then there is the heat.

Living in southeast Texas, we are already experiencing mid 90 degree days, with humidity making it feel like it is in the lower 100's... and the first day of summer hasn't made its grand entrance yet- at least not according to our calender's.

I'm not sure about you, but I'd rather be some place cool, relaxing on a heavily-shaded screened  porch, with a great breeze blowing through the screen. I can picture myself, holding a tall glass of iced tea, and catching a glimpse of a soft hammock,swaying in a cozy corner, calling my name...


I'm attaching one of my favorite paintings... maybe it will help us get through this hot day... thinking about the polar bears, skimming across the ice..

MaLee sends her regards as well. She seems to love the hot days, as long as she is inside,watching her favorite animal show on TV, has plenty of food and water, and her mama painting nearby.

Animal Art Means So Much to Me!

 Since I am sort of in a bad situation lately (dealing with some inflamed back muscles) and most of my time (lately) seems to be spent in physical therapy, I thought I would post some of my favorite oil paintings of animals that I have done over time. Most of my animal work is very detailed. Some of the originals on this post have sold, while others are still available to purchase in my Etsy Shop, I do offer high quality prints on canva

Don't forget, I love taking custom orders! You can easily contact me from this blog, or from my Etsy Shop.


Please, enjoy,
Sandra Cutrer Fine Art

SEX and the butterfly, art by Sandra, original oils on canvas



Okay, so I used the word SEX to entice you to view my art- what's new?  We spend hours each day watching TV, Facebook advertisements, magazines, billboards, even radio advertisements and music that uses SEX to sell us anything and everything!

But, I actually did find it interesting to see the mating habits of these "sweet" and gorgeous creatures! I've added the website below, in case you'd really like to read it!

If not, please enjoy my blog, and visit my Etsy Shop. I love to paint, love taking commissions/creating custom pieces of your choosing. You can easily contact me through my Etsy Shop.

Time Does Fly!

Wow, time really does fly by so quickly! I did not realize I had not blogged until I checked my site today- and saw where it has been several months! WHAT???

Spring has 'sprung' over here in southeast Texas, and we are already experiencing 90 degree-plus temperatures in May. UGH!

I have been busy painting, and selling (YEAH!!!), but also experienced some set backs- as in severe back pain. After a few weeks of that, I decided a doctor might e the person to see. She  was indeed a great help (why, oh why, do we avoid seeing our doctor ?)

Of course, spending a few days fishing at a private cabin helped relieve my body of the pain as well as the prescribed meds!





Don't be too envious, since I haven't been able to fresh water fish in about 20 years... I thought I had forgotten how! We had fun, and returned our catch back into the lake.

Here are a few of my most recent paintings, which are listed for sale in my Etsy Shop. Just click on the link below this and it will take you directly to my shop:

I'll end my post with one of the sunsets we were able to enjoy on our recent fishing trip. Sadly a photo doesn't quite do it justice!


Blessings to all,
