Painting Description

A serene landscape painting capturing the tranquility of nature. This artwork’s composition is simple and understated.

“Hilltops” is an original oil painting that captures the quiet poetry of a summer day. Three gently rising hilltops stretch across the canvas, each crowned with a stately tree standing in calm solitude beneath a wide, open sky. Above, soft white clouds drift across a clear expanse of blue, while the landscape below is bathed in fresh greens and warm light. The composition is simple and serene — a visual pause that invites the viewer to linger in the stillness of nature.

This one-of-a-kind artwork measures 9×12 inches and features oil paint on a premium canvas board, ensuring lasting beauty and durability. Teresa Bernard hand-signs the painting in the lower left-hand corner, adding a personal touch of authenticity. The painting arrives unframed, giving you the freedom to choose a frame that best suits your space and style. A custom Certificate of Authenticity, hand-signed and embossed with the artist’s personal seal, is included with your purchase — a final detail that affirms the originality and care behind this tranquil work of art.

Whether displayed in a cozy nook or a bright, open room, this painting brings a sense of clarity and calm to any environment. Its minimalist charm and timeless palette make it a natural conversation piece, offering a peaceful presence that complements a wide range of interiors.

Artist Comments

Sometimes, the quietest compositions speak the loudest. Hilltops is one of those paintings where less truly becomes more. I was drawn to the idea of creating a landscape that felt open and unburdened — a place where the eye can rest and the mind can wander. There’s something deeply calming about a scene that isn’t crowded with detail, where the land rolls gently and the sky stretches wide.

I enjoy painting these minimalist pieces from time to time because they offer a different kind of storytelling. They don’t tell you everything — instead, they invite you to imagine what lies just beyond the next ridge. Is it a grove of trees? A quiet herd of cattle? Maybe a deer slipping through the brush or a flock of sheep grazing in the distance? That mystery is part of the charm.

My hope is that this painting gives viewers a moment of stillness — and maybe even a little spark of wonder.

—Teresa Bernard, oil painter
