Adventures in Africa Series - Teresa Bernard Oil Paintings

Exploring the Vibrant Heart of Africa on Canvas

The Adventures in Africa Series started out as an inquiry about a possible commission and grew from there. Indeed, a good many of the Africa paintings in this series are commissioned works.

Since the initial query, I’ve received numerous commissions for paintings of Africa and have also completed some non-commissioned Africa paintings as well.

Africa has always intrigued me, ever since I was a young girl. The idea of going on a safari and camping out in the jungle with exotic animals was a childhood fantasy of mine. In my dreams, there was no real danger, and any shooting that had to be done was with my camera. Of course, that’s not reality; African wildlife can be very dangerous, but not in a child’s imagination.

I’ve never been to Africa, but I’d sure love to go someday. All of these paintings depicting Africa have reignited my childhood desire to visit that continent.
