Artist Comments

A gentleman from Georgia contacted me about creating a painting for him. He emailed a photo of what he wanted. The photo was of himself and his son fishing, however, it was tightly cropped, showing very little of their surroundings. He told me they were fishing along the shores of the Chattahoochee River at Jones Bridge Park in Peachtree Corners, Georgia. So, I did some research on the river and was able to incorporate it into his painting.

Upon completing the painting, I was uncertain about a suitable title, so I turned to social media for some ideas. I received numerous good suggestions, none of which I used; however, they did help me come up with what I believe is a suitable name for the subject matter. That’s how the title “Fishing with Dad” came to be for this commission painting.

I saw this little caterpillar one day and thought it would be a fun painting to do. Its colorful stripes and long body is what caught my attention. Someday soon this little insect will transform into a beautiful Swallowtail Butterfly.

—Teresa Bernard

Some Interesting Facts about Caterpillars

Are caterpillars insects?
Yes. Caterpillars, like their parent butterflies or moths, are insects. The caterpillar’s only job is to eat. It can grow and expand its size more than 1,000 times while eating before metamorphosing into a moth or butterfly.

Caterpillars have twelve eyes.
A caterpillar has twelve tiny eyes called stemmata; six on each side of its head. One would think that a creature with so many eyes would have excellent vision, but not in this case. Their tiny eyes only aid in distinguishing between light and dark.

Caterpillars have a huge number of muscles in their bodies.
The muscles in a caterpillar far outnumber those in humans. A caterpillar has 4,000 muscles, while humans have 650. They rely on these muscles to move because they do not have any bones inside them.

Details & Description

Title: The Broadside of a Barn
Size: 12″ w x 9″ h
Canvas Type: Canvas Board

Signed: On the front 
COA: Signed Certificate of Authenticity

A sunset painting of an old, weathered barn with a bright yellow moon overhead. This architectural art composition is full of intriguing contrasts.

This oil painting portrays a tightly cropped view of the broadside of an old rural barn, with its planks showing signs of aging and weathering. A bright yellow Harvest Moon shines overhead. Hand-painted and signed in the lower right-hand corner by oil painting artist Teresa Bernard.

The Broadside of a Barn is created by hand with an art brush on a high-quality canvas board and must be framed prior to display. An official Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is included with purchase of this painting.

The original canvas paintings do not display the copyright watermark “©️ teresabernardart.com”.

Artist Comments

I’m a sucker for old country barns. They have a certain charm that appeals to me, especially when they’re old and weathered.  And when the composition allows, I love to include them in my landscape paintings.

The Broadside of a Barn is a country landscape painting. To create an interesting effect, I painted this composition with a tight crop. The crop gives the impression that the painting is cut in half diagonally from corner to corner, creating two contrasting triangles. The upper triangle features organic shapes, whereas the lower triangle consists of geometric, manmade forms.

This painting appeals to me because of the many contrasts present within its composition. For example, near vs. far, organic vs. manufactured, curved vs. straight, round vs. square, dark vs. light, etc. Can you find other contrasts?

Customer Feedback

“I have a guest room with lighthouses, but I wanted something really special. I love the beach scene with the seagull because it looks so peaceful.” — Roberta Bernard, Crosby TX

Details & Description

Title: Seagull Beach
Size: 6″ w x 6″ h
Canvas Type: Gallery Wrap Stretched Canvas
Signed: On the front 
COA: Signed Certificate of Authenticity
A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting

A peaceful beach painting with a seagull in the foreground.

A beach painting with a seagull sitting on top of a post in the foreground and ocean waves gently rolling into shore in the background, all against a partly cloudy sky overhead. Beautiful and soothing, this seaside artwork is a must-have for any beach lover and will be a perfect addition to your coastal-themed home or office decor. Composed by hand on quality stretched canvas and signed by American artist Teresa Bernard.

©️ teresabernardart.com is a copyright watermark and is used for online purposes only. It is not present on the actual canvas panting.

Artist Comments

The composition of this seaside painting consists of a sandy beach, gentle ocean waves, and a seagull in the foreground. The aquatic color scheme has both a soothing and calming effect on its viewer.

This oil painting measures 6″x6″. Its small size makes it perfect for tight places with limited space. (See “Small Paintings for Small Spaces” for more info.)

I created it using a gallery-wrap canvas, which enabled me to extend the painting to the canvas’s sides or edges. What this means is the canvas is stretched over the support bars and fastened at the back instead of the sides. This method gives the artwork a modern look, making it suitable for wall display without the need for a frame. Nowadays, I primarily utilize this canvas style for my paintings.

An alternative rock band commissioned this painting, titled The Beautiful Infinite. This painting was used as the cover for their new album of the same name.

SOLD: This painting is a commissioned work and has been sold.

Customer Feedback

“It looks absolutely stunning. You’ve beautifully captured the concept we wanted.” — Steven Sisolak, MindSlicer, Bloomington, IN

Details & Description

Title: The Beautiful Infinite
Size: 12″ w x 12″ h
Canvas Type: Gallery Wrap Stretched Canvas
Signed: On the front 
COA: Signed Certificate of Authenticity
A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting

A painting of a starry night with a silhouette of a man holding a balloon drifting away into the infinite beauty of the night sky and outer space. Hand-painted on gallery wrap stretched canvas and signed by fine artist Teresa Bernard. This painting is ready for display as is, or if you like, it can be framed to give it more of a finished look.

Artist Comments

The Beautiful Infinite is a commissioned painting that I did for the band members of MindSlicer, an alternative music group. They contacted me because they liked my artistic style and especially my space art paintings. The band wanted to know if I would be willing to create a painting for them to use as the cover for their upcoming album.

My Assignment

Compose a painting that emphasizes the infinity of space with thousands of visible stars and galaxies. It needed to be colorful and vibrant to balance the colder night sky with equal parts of warmth.

In addition, the composition needed to include the silhouette of a person standing on the bank of a river or the edge of a precipice. This person holds a balloon and is partially floating up into the air as if the balloon were trying to carry him off into the starry night sky.

Art Commissions

Teresa does commission paintings. If you have a special painting in mind and you want to make it a reality just like the band members of Mindslicer did, contact us. See “How to Commission a Painting” for more information.

The copyright watermark ©️ teresabernardart.com is not present on the physical canvas art.

Artist Comments

Starship Enterprise…To Boldly Go is Star Trek fan art. Star Trek (the original series) was my favorite TV show when I was a kid, and it still is! This painting isn’t the first time I’ve created fan art of the USS Enterprise. When I was a young teen, I painted this famous starship and entered it in a local art show. My painting drew a lot of attention back then, and I remember there were many conversations over it. Unfortunately, it’s been so long ago that I can’t remember if it was a juried art show or not. However, I do remember the painting sold, and that was very exciting for a teenager just starting out as an artist of oil paintings.

The title for this Star Trek fan art came from the show’s opening monologue.

Star Trek Opening Monologue

Space: the final frontier.
These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.
Its 5-year mission:
To explore strange new worlds;
To seek out new life and new civilizations;
To boldly go where no man has gone before!

A painting of a starry night with a lone scraggly tree in silhouette and a line of trees on the horizon against a bright yellow and orange sunset.

SOLD: This painting has been sold to an art buyer in Washington state.

Customer Feedback

“I am thrilled to have received the painting today. It is absolutely beautiful. What initially attracted me to your paintings is your use of light. In this particular painting, I love the boldness of the light and the darkness. Also, I can imagine myself standing in that wide open space looking up at a creation of God and feeling grateful for being a part of it all. Thank you!” — Cynthia Haro, Yakima, WA

Details & Description

Title: Starry Night with Lone Scraggly Tree
Size: 6″ w x 6″ h
Canvas Type: Gallery Wrap Stretched Canvas
Signed: On the front 
COA: Signed Certificate of Authenticity
A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting

A painting featuring the silhouette of a lone scraggly tree against the Milky Way and starry night background. In the distance is a line of trees on the horizon which are also in silhouette against a bright yellow and orange sunset. The painting is signed by oil painting artist Teresa Bernard.

This 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. Because the composition stretches around the sides of the canvas, it does not need to be framed before being displayed. However, if you prefer to have it framed, Starry Night will look great in your home, office, or anywhere it is displayed.

Artist Comments

I painted Starry Night with Lone Scraggly Tree because I wanted to do a night sky painting with the Milky Way. I have done a number of space paintings, but only a few of them depict space closer to home, Earth. There is so much out in the vastness of space to paint, galaxies, nebulas, suns, planets, gasses, stars, etc. I don’t think I’ll ever run out of subject matter to paint in the night sky or outer space.

Starry Night… reminds me of Psalm 19:1 which tells us “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.”

As I view Starry Night…, a Christian worship song I often hear on the radio comes to mind. You can listen to it here “God of Wonders Beyond Our Galaxy” by Chris Tomlin.

Artist Comments

Prickly pear cactus are hardy plants, well-adapted to arid conditions and are famous for their flavorful fruits and showy flowers.

From my “Life in Texas Series.” This painting of a prickly pear cactus was a fun one to do. It brought back memories of my childhood. I grew up in west Texas where these flowering desert plants are commonplace. One doesn’t really give much thought to them unless you have a personal encounter with one. Ouch! Some varieties have really long thorns that can really hurt if you’re not careful.

“Cacti very likely represent the thorns and thistles that man must reap after his fall. I believe they may also represent refreshment and survival in the most difficult of situations. Humans and animals often find refreshment and water within cacti. It isn’t ideal, but many have survived in the most dire of circumstances. God be with you all. May we fully experience the refreshment of God in this age and the age to come.” — @ArtMusic_only, Gab

A painting featuring the close-up of an orange tiger lily blossom. The composition zooms in on the center of the blossom. Because the image wraps around the edges of the canvas, this small painting will not require a frame. Hand-painted on stretched canvas and signed by visual artist Teresa Bernard.

The actual canvas art does not have the copyright watermark ©️ teresabernardart.com.

Artist Comments

I bought two dozen small 6″ x 6″ canvases one day simply because they were on sale. Yes, I know impulse buying isn’t always a good thing because it can lead to buyer’s remorse. However, it worked out perfectly in this case. I’ve discovered that I enjoy doing smaller paintings like this one.

I needed to decide what I was going to paint on these small canvases now that I had them. Flowers were one of the ideas that came to mind. They seemed like a good choice because a single blossom would fit nicely on this size canvas. This Tiger Lily painting is one of several flower compositions I’ve done on these small canvases. The artwork depicts a close-up of the blossom’s center.

“It’s lovely. Technically tho, it’s a “small painting” not a miniature. A miniature must be 25 sq. inches or less and 1/6th scale. You should try doing something like that, you paint so well.

A painting depicting a view of the Yaquina Head Lighthouse from below. The beacon sits atop a tall tower bathed in the warmth of the sun.

Title: Yaquina Head Lighthouse

Series: Part of the Lighthouse Series
A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting

A painting of Yaquina Head Lighthouse as seen from below and looking up. From this artwork, one gets a sense of its height as it towers above the keeper’s quarters with a blue sky overhead, while the warm sun shines upon the column that supports its beacon. This hand-painted artwork is signed by oil painting artist Teresa Bernard.

Yaquina Head Lighthouse is hand-painted on a quality canvas board. It will need to be framed before it can be displayed.

Artist Comments

The beautiful Yaquina Head Lighthouse (pronounced “ya-queen-eh” by locals) was built in 1872-73 on the Oregon coast just north of Newport. The lighthouse is named after an American Indian tribe of the same name that is now nearly extinct. It is a popular tourist destination, with visitors coming to explore the surrounding beaches and tide pools.

The composition of this painting is almost a “worm’s-eye view” of the famous Yaquina Head Lighthouse. That struck me as an intriguing angle. I was hesitant to paint the lighthouse at first because I wasn’t sure I could get the angle right. However, I’m glad I overcame my apprehension and decided to paint the lovely lighthouse anyway. I love how it turned out.
