"Queen of the Beast" a lioness painted in oils on a small 5" x 7" canvas, ready for framing. All prices are listed on my blog list of works for sell. Please scroll down for more information.   I love big cats, and literally  hated to see a documentary the other night about the loss of free roaming lions in Africa. Only a few years ago, there were over 200,000 free lions, but today there are only about 20,000 remaining alive and free! A huge decrease mainly caused by hunters with large sums of money from...you guessed it, the USA! We have got to stop this destruction! We need these big cats. They play a huge roll in the animal world, and our future world as we now know it. Our grandchildren deserve the right to see, and enjoy wild and free lions in Africa!     The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the desert and streams in the wasteland, to give drink to my people, my chosen, the people I formed ...

"Nebit". The name is of Egyptian origin,meaning leopard  . This portrait is painted in oils with lots of detail, making it exciting each time I added a layer or another stroke of paint. I am happy with my finished product, and pleased that you would read and blog and look at my work! If you'd like to see more or my work, or you are interest ed in purchasing this piece, please contact me at my personal blog: srcartavenue. blogspot.com or contact me at: sandrasart777@aol.com . I love taking commissions! The leopard is almost a shadow in the African jungle. He hunts and lives alone, usually bringing his kill high up a nearby tree to keep scavengers away. Sometimes his kill will weigh three times more than he does! Blessings, Sandra Reeves Cutrer

"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.

"Nebit", meaning leopard in the Egyptian language. Nebit is a close-up detailed painting in oils on a 9" x 12" professional art board. What a beautiful wild cat the leopard is. Although they are usually very fearless animals, I hope I have captured a slight bit of fear, as leopards are considered to be close to extinction, and are listed as endangered large cats. There are over 20 subspecies of leopards. Eight sub- species are considered endangered, 4 on the verge of extinction. Thank you for looking at my work.

Crown of Courage- a lion painting by wildlife artist, Sandra Reeves Cutrer. A big boy, painted on a big  (24" x 30" x 1.5") gallery wrapped canvas -all sides painted. According to several research sites, the lion’s mane has often been thought of as extra protection from the neck being attacked by other males, although it seems lions mostly attack each other on the back and hips. Most studies lean toward the size and coloration of the mane serves as a signal to other lions about the male’s fitness, similar to the showiness of the peacock’s tail. And, it seems the females prefer males with darker, thick manes, as they project a bigger and healthier male to mate with. Thanks for looking at my blog.
