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.

The copyright watermark ©️ teresabernardart.com is not depicted on the original canvas painting.

Artist Comments

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.

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).
