This is a new painting I started yesterday and I'm sure you'll agree that it's a little different from most of my work!  I've been needing to be re-energized lately and found just what I needed this weekend.   I signed up for a workshop taught by my good friend Nancy Medina .  We met in scenic Fredericksburg, TX, ate great food, had fun with new friends and learned from a master!  Nancy is an award winning floral artist.  Her floral paintings are spectacular and it's such a treat to watch her bring each painting to life.  She works exclusively in oils, a medium I haven't touched in many years.  Experimenting with a medium that I'm not accustomed to using,  forced me to "think out of the box" and set my creative juices flowing again.   These are a few shots I took as I started working on this painting.  It's a pretty big canvas - 48"x36".  I love the energy in this one so far.  Tomorrow...

"Racer" a zebra portrait in oils on a wrapped canvas. I photographed several zebras at the Baton Rouge Zoo, in Louisiana, including this one who came up for a closer look at me (or maybe my large camera). All sides are painted a dark hue, so there is no need for a frame. I just got word tonight that one of the zebras gave birth last week, so now I am planning another trip to Louisiana to see the newest member of the zebra family. I enjoyed painting this, and although my eyes wanted to blur a few times from the stripes, every stroke was fun,as I easily recalled their various personalities. Thank you for reading my blog and looking at my work. If you are interested in purchasing "Racer" or any of my other work, please visit my blog at: srcartavenue.blogspot.com or contact me at: sandrasart777@aol.com Blessings, Sandra Reeves Cutrer

"Portrait of a Cowboy" 20 x 20 x 1 1/2" Gallery Wrapped John is a remarkable cowboy of our present day. He is tall, lanky, and as a cowboy, he is the real deal. I spotted him seated in this profile next to a chuckwagon during a championship cookout. His cowboy attire typifies the American Spirit...red, white and blue. The contrast of his hat in direct sunlight with face in shadow was an invitation to paint! Shortly after completing this painting, I learned from some of his friends that he was in an accident with his horse. His firm resolve to survive the broken bones just reinforced my opinion of the all-American Cowboy, quiet, soft spoken, endurance...courage comes in many forms. This painting is available.

18 x 24 Oil on canvas- sold This is a scene from the Paluxy River here in Texas last Autumn. The Vaquero, waiting for his companion to cross the strong current downstream, paused long enough to look at his surroundings. The changing colors, the crispness in the air is a good sign that winter is soon coming.
