Rustic Jugs has a folksy feel that appeals to me because of its simplicity; just three simple jugs sitting in an unpolished setting. If you like vintage, then this still life painting with rustic jugs will work in your home or office decor.

Artist Comments
This is a contemporary still life painting with red and yellow onions. Why did I choose to paint this? I wanted to do something a little different from the other still lifes I’ve painted in the past. The shapes, color, and placement of the onions appealed to me as well. This painting would look great in your formal dining room, a café, or a restaurant setting.

Size: 6″ w x 6″ h Support: Gallery Wrap Stretched Canvas Description: A small still life painting featuring four vintage sewing spools made of wood and thread. There is sewing thread and a sewing needle on each of the spools. Each of the wooden spools is filled with a colored thread: red, orange, green, and blue. The green spool has a sewing needle sticking through it. The background is painted in a neutral gray color to match its companion painting. The painting is one of two in a series and is signed by oil painting artist Teresa Bernard.
This small 6×6 inch painting is hand-painted on gallery wrap stretched canvas. Its small size makes it perfect for small spaces or areas where space is limited. It doesn’t require a frame before display because the composition stretches around the sides of the canvas giving it a modern look. However, if you prefer to have it mounted in a frame, Grandma’s Sewing Thread will look great in your home or office, or any place it is put on display.
Not to scale. Companion painting sold separately.
Artist Comments
This painting is part of a series called Great-Grandma’s Vintage Sewing Thread. I call it “great-grandma’s” because we are now living in a modern age, and thread no longer comes on wooden spools. Our great-grandmothers would have probably used sewing thread spun on wooden spools, but not so much today. Nowadays, sewing thread comes on plastic spools.
Manufacturers are no longer making wooden thread spools, but that doesn’t mean they have no value. They still have some usefulness. One advantage of these vintage thread spools is that they last a long time and can be used in numerous other ways once their thread is gone.
When I was a child, I remember playing with empty wooden spools. I strung them up on a string and made necklaces with them. I also used them for doll furniture, among other things, when I played with my Barbie dolls.
Wooden thread spools can be used for various arts and craft projects. Using your imagination, you could turn them into some beautiful artwork or something else that would give them some renewed purpose. Use them yourself or for a project, your children could enjoy. Better yet, use them in a project that you and your children could enjoy doing together.
Companion Painting
Sewing Thread #2 has a companion painting called “Great-Grandma’s Sewing Thread #1.” Companion paintings are sold separately. Whether purchased with its companion or not, either of these paintings will look great proudly displayed in a sewing or craft room.

This painting is part of a series called Great-Grandma’s Antique Sewing Thread. I call it “great-grandma’s” because we are now living in a modern age, and thread no longer comes on wooden spools. Our great-grandmothers would have probably used sewing thread spun on wooden spools.
The wooden spools you may find today are 50+ years old and are now considered antiques. Today sewing thread comes on spools made of plastic; and our grandmothers, and most assuredly, our mothers would have sewn their sewing projects using thread spun on plastic spools.
I remember playing with empty wooden spools when I was a young child in the 60-70s. As I grew older, my grandmother began teaching me how to sew doll clothes and other items. However, I barely remember thread coming on anything but plastic spools. I remember raiding my grandmother’s sewing box for just the right color of thread I needed, and I remember finding some wooden spools there.
Unfortunately, wooden spools met their demise back in the 1970s when manufacturers stopped using them to spin thread on. It was purely a business decision. It had become more economical for them to use plastic spools instead. If you happen to come across a vintage sewing spool, don’t throw it away; hang on to it. Wooden spools are antiques and do have some value. Just how much it is worth depends on how old the spool is and its condition.

Artist Comments
I named this painting Great-Grandma’s Fine China Teacup because, in this day and age of Starbucks, paper cups, and travel mugs, the art of drinking coffee or hot tea from fine china is quickly becoming a thing of the past for a great many Americans. Well, at least that is my perspective.
Here is a case in point. I read once about a young bride-to-be preparing for her upcoming wedding and how her mother coerced her into adding a set of fine china to her bridal registry. The young woman felt it would be ludicrous to do so as the china set would never get used except for holidays and perhaps rarely even then.
For many Americans, I guess there is no longer any need for the loving memories that come from pulling out the fine china and using it for special occasions like our great-grandmas did, or is there? And I guess it has been forgotten that hot beverages taste much better when consumed from a cup made of fine china. And not failing to mention, teacups are pretty, and they are dainty, which also helps to make a special occasion just that much more special.
So what are you waiting for? Pull out great-grandma’s (or grandma’s) fine china and put it to good use today. You’re not getting any younger.

Size: 12″ w x 16″ h Support: Gallery Wrap Stretched Canvas Description: A painting of a close-up of a tractor tire, an ordinary farm object. The tire is aged and the rim has some rust. In the background is a wood plank floor with another tire peeking in. This painting is perfect for anyone who loves farm, country, tractors, or rustic decor.
This work of art will not need a frame as the painted composition extends around the edges of the canvas. Hand-painted and signed by fine artist Teresa Bernard.

Artist Comments
Tractor Tire was a little bit of an experiment for me. Sometimes I like to give myself challenges. In this particular challenge, I wanted to see if I could paint rubber and make it look like rubber. I think I achieved that goal.
What I like most about this painting is the different textures present in it — the wood, the rubber, and even the rusty metal rim. It was an enjoyable challenge painting all those textures and getting them just right. In addition, there are warm colors that contrast against the cool ones. There are so many neat things happening in this painting; it was just a fun one to paint!
This painting would be the perfect art piece for the man cave, especially if you love farm tractors or cars. I can imagine no one would have ever thought a tractor tire would be the focal point for a painting.

Size: 14″ w x 11″ h Support: Traditional-style Stretched Canvas Description: This painting depicts a vintage-style still life of objects which would typically be found in a home office or study. The still life consists of a stack of hard-cover books, a feather quill pen, a candlestick sitting in a tall candle holder, and a pair of spectacles and a glass of wine; all sitting on top of an antique wood desk. The monochromatic (limited color) palette it is painted in gives this painting a vintage look. The painting is signed by fine artist Teresa Bernard.
The Study is hand-painted on a traditional-style stretched canvas with the sides left raw or unpainted. It will need to be mounted in a frame before it is put on display. Adding a frame will give the painting a finished look.

Artist Comments
The Study is the first painting I’ve done using a limited color palette. What this means is, I deliberately chose to restrict the number of paint colors I used when doing this painting. The sepias I chose to use in this still life give it a vintage look. This would be great wall décor for an office, study, den, or even a “man cave.”

Still Life with Clay Pottery is a monochromatic painting that features everyday household items that would have been found in a typical kitchen in Israel or Jordan during the Iron Age (1200-586 B.C.). While visiting the “Holy Land Photos” website, I found some interesting photos of a reconstructed Israelite House on display at the Haaretz Museum in north Tel Aviv. This painting is from one of those photos.
