A young girl in a red dress sits beside a pond filled with koi in this delightful painting. She pokes her hand into the water and playfully teases the fish.

A one-of-a-kind painting of a young blond-haired girl wearing a red dress, sitting beside a pond. She extends her hand into the water, interacting playfully with a group of koi fish. Positioned with her back facing the onlooker, she could be anyone’s child, allowing the identity to be determined by the viewer. Cattails are growing behind her, and lily pads dot the pond’s surface in the foreground. The painting is signed by artist Teresa Bernard.

Girl in The Red Dress is canvas art hand-painted on gallery wrap canvas; it does not require a frame before hanging on the wall.

Artist Comments

The painting of a young girl in a red dress was enjoyable to create because I used a model who was somewhat familiar to me. She’s the granddaughter of a high school friend. My friend gave me permission to use a photo of her granddaughter as a reference for this artwork.

For the most part, the painting reflects the reference photo, but I introduced lily pads, koi fish, and cattails. These additions were made to enhance the composition’s appeal and to enrich the narrative depicted by the painting.

Artist Comments

‘Gone Surfing’ is a simple yet evocative phrase that captures the essence of escaping to the waves. It conjures images of sun-kissed beaches, saltwater spray, and the thrill of riding a board across the ocean’s surface. Whether you’re a seasoned surfer or a daydreamer, those two words encapsulate the freedom and adventure that await in the vast blue expanse.

When I was a young girl growing up in Texas, my family did not live anywhere near the coast. I’d watch reruns of TV shows and movies starring Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello, and other teen idols who surfed the waves, and I would daydream about the thrill of surfing myself. Had we lived near the beach, I might have been the teenage girl portrayed in this painting. Those days have passed, and I never learned to surf, but if I had…

Details & Description

Title: The Ballerina
Size: 24" w x 18" h
Canvas Type: Traditional Stretched Canvas
Frame: Unframed
Signed: On the front 
COA: Signed Certificate of Authenticity
A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting

Fine art painting of a ballerina in the spotlight. Ballet paintings are an excellent way to extend the agility and grace of ballet outside of the theater.

The painting depicts a ballerina in a blue tutu and pink ballet shoes, rendered in a realistic style. She is illuminated by a bright spotlight as she poses gracefully on the stage floor, with the dark background accentuating her figure.

Artist Teresa Bernard has signed The Ballerina in the lower left side. This original painting is hand-painted on a traditional stretched canvas and will need to be framed before it can be displayed. This works nicely for folks who want the polished or classic look of a frame. This artwork comes with a personalized Certificate of Authenticity (COA) with your purchase.

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

Artist Comments

Ballet is a form of dance and artistic expression that I admire. I enjoy going to see live ballet performances. Nothing beats seeing these gifted musicians perform live. It’s a sight to behold as one takes in the music, the sets, the ambiance, and the grace with which these dancers move across the stage telling a story.

Performing ballet is not for “the faint at heart.” Dancers who want to become professional dancers begin training as young as two years old. And becoming a member of a professional dance company requires years of extensive training and proper technique. Furthermore, because the style and technique of this art form can be so demanding on the body, ballerinas are frequently at high risk of injury.

I was in my late teens when I saw my first ballet performance. My best friend Cyndie and her family had tickets to see the Nutcracker Suite at a local theater. I can’t remember why, but Cyndie wasn’t able to attend, so she gave me her ticket. She felt that out of all her friends, I would appreciate the ballet the most—and she was right! I’m grateful to Cyndie for the opportunity to take her seat at the ballet, a performance that has endeared me to this art form ever since.

Artist Comments

‘Sisters in Lavender’ painting is one of my favorite works and was a joy to paint. The calm, serene, and tranquil feeling one gets viewing this artwork is particularly appealing to me. The figures in the composition are no one specifically, just two young ladies who could be sisters enjoying an afternoon in a vast field of lavender. I can imagine the scent of lavender wafting through the air, filling their noses with a sweet aroma as they stroll through the beautiful lavender, creating some treasured memories.

—Teresa Bernard

Artist Comments

Throughout my art career, I’ve created several portraits, yet I don’t consider myself as a portrait artist. I like to depict individuals engaged in activities or absorbed in their surroundings, because these scenes tell a story. In my paintings of people, their faces are deliberately turned away from the observer. They are not intended to be conventional portraits in standard poses. The purpose is to allow the viewer’s interpretation to shape who they perceive the subjects to be. They could be anyone—your daughter, your son, your niece or nephew, your grandchild. Perhaps even a younger you.

—Teresa Bernard

A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting

In this painting, a young boy and his dog play on the lakeshore. It reminds us of happier times when we were carefree and the simple things in life amazed us.

An original painting of a young boy and his dog playing along the lakeshore as a toy boat sails past. With his back turned to the viewer, this child could be anyone’s little boy, perhaps even yours. The lake shimmers with vibrant blues and greens, surrounded by lush trees, with mountains rising in the distance. Oil painting artist Teresa Bernard has signed the piece in the lower left corner.

A Boy and His Dog is canvas wall art that does not need to be framed before being shown. It is painted by hand on artist gallery wrap stretched canvas, this allows the composition to wrap around the canvas’s edges. If you wish to have it framed, it will look lovely! When you purchase this summertime oil painting, you will receive an authentic Certificate of Authenticity (COA).

Artist Comments

The significance of a young boy and his dog playing by the lake transcends mere moments of leisure. It weaves together threads of nostalgia, companionship, and timeless connection.

‘A Boy and His Dog’ evokes the joy of life’s simplest moments when we were young, and everything held wonder. Sometimes life gets so complicated that it’s nice to stop and remember the days of our youth.

When my children were young, like the little boy in this painting, I loved to watch their fascination with the simplest things in life. Things that, as an adult, I often take for granted. Sometimes it’s nice to slow down and enjoy simple pleasures like this again.

A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting

A painting depicting en pointe, a common classical ballet pose every ballerina learns to position her feet.

A cropped composition emphasizing just the feet of a ballerina in the en pointe position. Her feet are in a bright spotlight. Artist Teresa Bernard signs her work in the lower left-hand corner.

This original tiny dancer painting is painted by hand on gallery-wrapped stretched canvas. Its smaller size makes this painting 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 framed, Ballerina Feet En Pointe painting will look great in your home or office, or anywhere it’s put out for viewing. This wall art includes an official Certificate of Authenticity (COA) with purchase.

Artist Comments

I never had the opportunity to take ballet as a child, but my daughter did for a time. She looked adorable in her little tutu and tiara. I was one proud momma watching my little ballerina do her dance routine with the other girls in her ballet company. This painting is not of my daughter’s feet; it is an artwork of the feet of any girl who enjoys classical ballet dance.

—Teresa Bernard
