A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting
This original painting gives the impression that you could walk right up those steps.
A painting depicting stair steps with a potted plant, ascending towards a destination that remains out of view. The steps and the building’s walls are made of stucco and painted white. The terracotta pot and plant are cast in shadow, with a blue-framed window above. Artist Teresa Bernard’s signature adorns the canvas’s bottom left corner.
‘Up the Steps’ is a painting I composed from a reference photograph. This painting conveys a sense of movement as if you could walk right up those steps. And it was this aspect of the photograph that attracted me the most. I did, however, make changes to the composition to improve it.
I’m part of a social media group of artists and photographers who like to share photos of places, objects, animals, and people they’ve photographed. They allow their fellow members to paint from their reference photos. Read more about reference photos here: Reference Photos for Artists.

This painting is of a vintage Ford V8, the same type of car that helped make “Bonnie and Clyde” famous in the early 1930s. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were notorious fugitives who traveled throughout the central states of North America with their gang during the Great Depression, robbing and murdering wherever they went. The couple’s crime spree ended in their car when they were ambushed by Texas lawmen at a roadblock and then shot to death when 100 armor-piercing bullets riddled the vehicle. Bonnie and Clyde were buried in separate cemeteries in Dallas, TX. Clyde’s gravestone reads, “Gone but not forgotten.”
Today the actual bullet-riddled death car driven by the infamous couple is on display at Whiskey Pete’s Resort and Casino in Primm, Nevada. There is no admission charge to see the exhibit. For more information about the actual car, Bonnie and Clyde met their demise in, visit Roads & Rides. See additional information at Roadside America.

Autumn is my favorite time of year. The cooler, more colorful season of fall is always welcome after a long, hot summer. We have a small forest of hardwood trees in the meadow behind our house. Every fall, I love seeing them change to various shades of red, orange, and yellow. It’s such a treat!
—Teresa Bernard
A Favorite Poem
A Tree Design by Arna Bontemps 1902 – 1973
A tree is more than a shadow
Blurred against the sky,
More than ink spilled on the fringe
Of white clouds floating by.
A tree is more than an April design
Or a blighted winter bough
Where love and music used to be.
A tree is something in me,
Very still and lonely now.

It’s been a long, scorching summer, with temperatures often exceeding 100 degrees. Staying indoors where the A/C is running is the best way to beat the heat. However, sometimes I just had to get outside for a while and usually I could be found in the shade of the large tree next to our house. What do I notice when glancing up while standing in that shade? I saw branches stretching skyward filled with green leaves and the sky peaking between them.
—Teresa Bernard
A Favorite Poem
Trees by Joyce Kilmer 1886 – 1918
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
This poem is in the public domain.

This one-of-its-kind painting depicts a tightly cropped composition of a yellow garden cottage. The color scheme is bright and cheery, with yellow, pink, and white.
A landscape painting depicting the side view of a yellow garden cottage with a window framed in white trim. In the foreground, a white picket fence and pink flowers run across the front of the cottage. Artist Teresa Bernard signs this artwork in the bottom left-hand corner.
The Garden Cottage was painted by hand on a small-scale gallery-wrapped stretched canvas. This means the artwork’s composition wraps around the edges of the canvas and a frame isn’t necessary to exhibit it. However, if you decide to have it mounted in a frame, it will look great! This oil painting comes with an official Certificate of Authenticity (COA) with your purchase.
This painting’s composition is a close-up of the side of a garden cottage. I thought it would be interesting to crop out as much of the original scenery as possible so that the focus would be solely on a few elements—the window, siding, picket fence, and some flowers. This turned out really well. I’ve used this method before. Below are the other paintings in which I used a tight crop to achieve the desired effect.

A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting
This large oil painting is a realistic version of Vincent van Gogh’s church which he made famous while living in Auvers, France.
An original landscape painting of van Gogh’s church. This painting depicts the village church in Auvers, France made famous by Dutch post-impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh. The church gives this painting a somewhat gothic feel with its stone walls, large-scale windows, and the tall and imposing tower that rises into the sky. Hand-painted and signed in the bottom corner on the left side by fine artist Teresa Bernard.
This painting can add style to any wall or space in your home or workspace. It is painted by hand on gallery-wrapped stretched canvas permitting the artist to continue the composition to the sides of the painting. Van Gogh’s Church won’t need to be framed unless you want it to be. It will look beautiful wherever you want to display it. Includes an official Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
While Vincent van Gogh was living in France, he painted his famous Auvers Church painting in his own post-impressionist style. I thought it would be fun to paint the same church only in my own realistic style.
The Gothic church depicted in this painting was initially painted and made famous by Vincent van Gogh in June 1890. Van Gogh’s church is located in the small village of Auvers, France, where he lived before his death. I wanted to do my own rendition of this lovely church, and the results of that desire are what you see here. Even though our painting styles are vastly different, Van Gogh is one of my favorite Old Masters. From his famous sunflowers painting to that lovely church in the village where he lived, I love much of Van Gogh’s work.

Title: Devils Tower

Frame: Unframed; Ready to Hang
Signed: On the front
COA: Signed Certificate of Authenticity
A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting
An original landscape painting of Devils Tower, a monolithic rock formation in northeastern Wyoming, and America’s first National Monument.
This is a small-scale landscape painting depicting the iconic Devils Tower National Monument in Wyoming. The monument stands out against a vibrant blue sky, with lush green trees in the foreground. Teresa Bernard, a landscape artist who specializes in oil paintings, has hand signed this art piece in the lower left corner.
Devils Tower is an artwork that requires no framing prior to display. Hand-painted on a gallery wrap stretched canvas, this type of canvas allows the composition to wrap around the canvas’s edges. If you wish to have it framed, it will look fantastic! A customized Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is included with the purchase of this artwork featuring the national monument.
I painted the Devils Tower as an oil painting after returning home from a trip with my husband to South Dakota in 2016. During this trip, we visited Devils Tower National Monument. The monument is a unique geological rock tower that rises above the grassy plains of northeast Wyoming. At the time, we were vacationing in Rapid City, South Dakota. Since the tower was within driving distance of our hotel, we could not pass up the opportunity to visit this “one-of-a-kind natural wonder.”
We could see Devils Tower from miles away as we made our approach to the national monument. Upon arriving at our destination, we drove through the 2.1 square mile park which surrounded the monument. We couldn’t help but notice the tower as it was the centerpiece of the park. It looked like a giant granite tree stump with a flat summit and fluted sides.
Devils Tower stands more than 867 feet from its base to the summit. It measures approximately 180 feet by 300 feet at the top and is about a mile in circumference at the base. There is a 1.25-mile hiking trail around the tower base that provided us with spectacular close-up views from all sides. There was another much wider 3-mile trail that also loops around the tower, but we didn’t take that one. We spent a better part of the day exploring and learning everything about the tower before heading back to the hotel. All-in-all it was a wonderful experience that I would recommend to anyone.
—Teresa Bernard
Why “Devils Tower” and Not “Devil’s Tower”?
In 1906, President Teddy Roosevelt declared Devils Tower America’s first official national monument. The monument was initially called “Devil’s Tower” (with an apostrophe), but due to a clerical error, the apostrophe was omitted and never corrected. To this day, it remains known as Devils Tower (without the apostrophe).

Large round bales of hay depict the rural life of east Texas in this oil painting.
An original landscape painting of large round hay bales depicting life in east Texas. The hay is sitting in a newly harvested field. A row of green trees can be seen in the background, with a blue sky above. This painting conveys a strong sense of country living.
Teresa Bernard, a skillful Texas artist who specializes in oil paintings, has signed this piece in the lower left corner. Life In Texas — Round Hay Bales is composed by hand on quality gallery wrap stretched canvas and is ready to display with or without a frame. This landscape wall art comes with an official Certificate of Authenticity (COA) upon purchase.
This oil painting is part of a series of paintings about what life is like in the great state of Texas. Round hay bales are one of the most iconic images of rural America. These farm-fresh bales represent the hard work and dedication required to provide for our country.
Cattle ranchers abound here in east Texas, and since cattle and other farm animals need food, we also have a lot of hay farmers. Everywhere you go, if you don’t see cattle or horses grazing in a large pasture, you’ll most likely see hay growing there, or you’ll see hay that has been harvested and baled.
Hay farmers harvest their hay using equipment called balers. Balers can bale (package) hay in various ways — small rectangle bales, large square or rectangular bales, or large round bales. The large round bales can weigh anywhere from 800 to over 1,500 pounds! When they are that heavy, they have to be moved around with hay forks attached to tractors.
Many cattlemen prefer the round bales instead of small rectangle bales as they are less labor-intensive to store and transfer and easier to feed to their cattle. They place these large round bales inside hay rings so their cattle and horses can graze on them for days. However, small farms and ranches may still use the smaller rectangle hay bales since they have fewer heads of cattle to feed.
