Artist Comments

Swimming with sharks? Yikes! This painting plunges you into the ocean’s depths, surrounded by the hauntingly graceful presence of hammerhead sharks. The artwork’s composition conjures up the feeling of swimming alongside these majestic creatures as they navigate the waters with ease. It’s as if you’re in close proximity to these formidable predators, sharing the vast, mysterious world beneath the sea. “Swimming with Sharks” captures the thrill and wonder of a once-in-a-lifetime underwater encounter.

—Teresa Bernard

What exactly is a monochromatic painting?

Monochromatic artwork uses shades, tones, and tints of just one color to create a piece of art. This approach lets artists dive deep into the nuances of a color, creating a visual that’s both unified and rich in detail. It’s all about the play of light and shadow within that one color, which can make something simple look incredibly complex. Famous monochromatic artworks often use slight shifts in color intensity and saturation to create an impactful visual experience.

Artist Comments

‘Garden Snail #3’ gives me a nostalgic feeling for Christmas. Perhaps it’s the evergreen branch this small mollusk is perching on. The painting depicts a garden snail, a type of land snail (terrestrial gastropod mollusk), which is among the most widespread species of terrestrial mollusks globally. It is another in a series of small paintings I did of this amazing little life form. (See other paintings in this common snail series below.)

Artist Comments

One of the things I love most about living out in the country is seeing wildlife in its natural environment. From the smallest to the largest of all God’s creatures, I love them all! I’ve painted domestic animals and wildlife from all over the world, not just those I’ve seen in the countryside where I live. Some were commissioned pet or animal portraits, while others were of wildlife that I find fascinating.

—Teresa Bernard
