Tatanka, the Native American Indian word for bison, or buffalo. Although many disagree that the buffalo and bison are the same, most people refer to both as "buffalo".Painted in oils on an 8" x 8"x 0.5" gallery wrapped stretched canvas-all sides painted. This wild life painting would make a great start for a small sized original collection!

"Purr-fectly Content" is a beautiful tiger portrait painted on a 6" x 6" x 1.5" gallery wrapped canvas. All sides are painted a dark hue, no need for framing. Doesn't this guy look purr-fectly content? His eyes look almost "kitten like", along with that soft, fluffy fur. Don't be fooled, as this big boy is fierce, strong, and a huge competitor among other wild animals. I adore and respect the great large cats, and hope the world will continue to comprehend the need to keep all species of endangered big cats alive and well for our future generations.

 "No Trespassing!" A Texas Longhorn bull painted in oils on a 24" x 30" x 1.25" gallery wrapped canvas. All sides will be painted a dark hue, so this big guy can easily be hung unframed. No one can live in Texas without noticing fields or pastures that are dotted with these big bulls, and beautiful cows. Their extra long and curvy horns are magnificent,but they are also a bold statement for uninvited trespassers! Thanks for reading my blog and looking at my work.

Queen of the Beast, a lioness. This lovely lady is painted in oils on a small (5" x 7") stretched canvas. Ready to frame and hang in your favorite room. I have photographed this sweet girl at the Houston Zoo on many occasions. It seems she doesn't mind a few poses for my camera, and has always been such a calm cat. Of course, I really know better than to think she would be cuddly. In the wild a lioness is a ferocious hunter, killing to care for herself, her young, and taking on the many responsibilities of a pride. The females are usually the main providers! Happy Mother's Day to all of the blessed mothers out there who have provided for their families, sacrificing so much for others. Bless you! Thanks for reading my blog and viewing my work.

What a huge animal this guy was in person. I was told he was friendly,but as he quickly approached the small wired fence hanging between us, I lost my courage to stay and find out. I snapped a few photos, then hastily made my way back to the safety of our Bed and Breakfast. I love animals, but being a lot smaller than this big boy, I wanted to give him all the room he needed, plus some! I really enjoyed the light playing on his reddish-brown hide. It took a lot of mixing colors to get it just right. Thanks for reading my blog and looking at my work.

"Wild and Free" a tiger portrait by Wildlife Artist Sandra Reeves Cutrer. This beautiful cat is painted in oils on a professional artist board, 8" x 10", ready for framing. I have meticulously painted in much of his fur and whiskers, making him as realistic as possible,yet maintaining a painterly approach so his new owner will appreciate it as an original oil work. His eyes have followed me for days, as I have worked on several other animal paintings. I feel like he has become part of my studio, and I think I will come up with a more personal name for him soon! Thanks for reading my blog and looking at my work. Please contact me at sandrasart777@aol.com for a price on Wild and Free, or for any other original paintings for sell please visit my blog at : srcartavenue.blogspot.com.

"Tess" is an Indian elephant at the Houston,TX zoo. I think she enjoyed her picture being taken, or either she was curious as to what a camera was! Either way, she seemed to pose for me. I painted her in a more painterly-abstraction art style, ignoring the hardness of her more truer colors, and giving her a more delicate, softer "girly" look, to match her kind eyes and youthful  spirit. She is painted in oils on an 8"x10" artist board, ready for framing.

     “Queen of the Beast" is an original painting on a 5”x7” canvas. I enjoyed photographing this lovely girl, then coming home to paint her in oils. She resides at The Houston, Texas Zoo. I think she knew she was getting her picture taken, for when I pulled out my camera she quickly posed with paws out, and proud head high.Thank you for looking at my blog!

This big guy is painted in oils. When an admirer saw my painting, she quickly posted me an email that explained how gentle these "giants" can be, although at the moment he started running, you could have fooled me! I took off for higher ground, and our (thankfully) close-by cabin.  She wrote, “ The Watusi is an amazing animal. We have had our bull for about 10 years. His horns are tipped, and is the only breed we know of that sharpens them back up. He is very protective of his new lady love, a red Watusi heifer. It amazes me when I come out with feed, as he waits until she comes up to the trough before he will start eating. A true gentleman. Our neighbor likes it when he bellows, sounding like a male elk's bugling." Maybe I was running for nothing, but he sure didn't look like a gentle giant to me! A Lot of Bull is painted in oils on a 24"x30"x1.5" wrap around canvas, so no need for framing. Please contact me at sandrasart@777.aol.com for pric...
