This original one-of-a-kind painting depicts a beautiful Texas Longhorn. The artwork is large and would look great on the wall of any room.

A depiction of the Texas Longhorn, a common ranch animal in the Lone Star State. In the foreground, a lone longhorn is relaxing in a lush green grass meadow. There is a dense line of trees and a blue sky overhead in the background. The Longhorn is a Texas icon, and this piece is a great way to honor the history and tradition of the Lone Star State. This piece would make a great addition to any rustic, rural, or western-themed room. The painting is signed in the lower left by Texas artist Teresa Bernard.

Artist Comments

The Texas Longhorn is a common breed of registered cattle in Texas. They get their name from the breed’s characteristic longhorns. Some sets of horns on these massive bovines can reach a span of 7 feet from tip to tip. You have to see one of these magnificent animals in person to appreciate those vast horns. I live in East Texas, and there are several longhorn ranches near our small homestead. I love driving past those places and seeing the longhorns grazing and resting in their pastures. They were the inspiration behind this painting of a Texas Longhorn sitting in a meadow.

—Teresa Bernard

Some Fun Facts About the Texas Longhorn

- The Texas Longhorn is descended from the first cattle brought to America by Christopher Columbus, which bred with native cattle. The breed is made up of around 80 percent Spanish blood and 20 percent “mongrel” heritage.
- Texas Longhorns come in all colors and patterns, and no two look exactly alike. Their coat pattern can be flamboyant and loud, while others are more subtle in color.
- Both male and female Longhorns have horns, although they will vary in shape and length according to gender. Longer horns are more desirable. The longer the horns, the more valuable the cow or bull. Calves will begin to grow their horns by three weeks of age.
- There are Texas Longhorn ranches all over America. Longhorns easily adapt to all temperatures, from hot to cold climates. This breed of cattle can thrive in terrains and climates where other breeds have difficulty living.

Painting Description

A sunflower is quietly portrayed from behind in this oil on canvas composition. Known for its cheerful spirit, the bloom is a meditative symbol of hope and warmth.

A bold sunflower turns away from the viewer, revealing the quiet beauty often hidden behind the bloom. In this original oil painting, the vibrant yellow petals are rendered with intricate detail, each brushstroke echoing the natural rhythm of the flower as it rises toward a sky-blue background. The textured involucral bracts at the base of the blossom add depth and realism, grounding the composition in organic structure. By choosing to portray the sunflower from behind, the painting offers a fresh perspective on a classic symbol of joy and optimism—one that speaks gently of resilience and the grace found in subtle angles.

Artist Comments

I’ve always been drawn to the quiet honesty in this pose—the way the sunflower turns away, not to hide, but to rise toward the light. Painting it from behind felt meaningful, like capturing a quiet act of devotion. There’s such reverence in the way sunflowers grow, always seeking the sun—always reaching upward with purpose. It’s no wonder they’ve become symbols of faith, loyalty, and longevity.

This composition allowed me to explore those themes in a gentle way. The upward lift of the petals, the soft curve of the stem, and that brilliant contrast against the sky—it all came together in a way that felt both grounded and spiritual. I didn’t want the painting to shout; I wanted it to speak softly, like a prayer in motion.

Artist Comments

Where I live, round hay bales are part of the everyday scenery—resting in freshly cut fields, tucked along fence lines, or nestled behind barns waiting to be fed out. You can’t drive far in rural east Texas without seeing them. They speak to the rhythm of farm life, the effort behind every harvest, and the kind of work that keeps things going quietly in the background.

When I created this piece, I wasn’t just painting hay—I was painting something familiar and grounding. It’s part of a series I call “Life in Texas.” Through these paintings, I try to capture small details that reflect something honest about our way of living. The round shape of the bales. Their golden color in the late-day sun. The open field. Each element holds a quiet sense of calm for me. They remind me of how simple things, like a field of hay, can carry the weight of tradition and purpose.

This painting was made to reflect that feeling. Not just what the land looks like—but how it feels to stand in it.

Artist Comments

The Sea of Galilee is a large freshwater lake located in northeast Israel, between the Golan Heights and the Galilee region. The Jordan River is its primary source of water. The lake is approximately 13 miles long and 8 miles wide.

My love of God’s word and Bible readings about Jesus inspired this painting of the famous Sea of Galilee. Israel is very important to me because it is home to God’s chosen people. I’ve never been to Israel, but it’s somewhere I’d like to visit someday. This painting was composed using a reference photo from the “Pictorial Library of Bible Lands.” The photographer, Todd Bolen, graciously permitted me to use his photographs for any of my Bible land paintings.

According to Matthew 4:13-22, this historic biblical location is where Jesus began His ministry and called His first disciples. This passage tells us Jesus left Nazareth and went to Capernaum. While walking along the Sea of Galilee, He called the first four of His disciples Simon (also called Peter), Andrew, James, and John.

Your Feedback

“I love it and looked at the site. The “Sea of Galilee at Capernaum” put me in mind of something by Turner or some of the Hudson River schools. Wonderful stuff.” — josisenberg, SciFi & Fantasy Writers, Gab

“I really like your paintings–the portrait of your husband is very unusual in composition and the backlighting–wish I could see it in real life. Another [painting] that really caught my eye especially is the Sea of Galilee at Capernaum–the light in the sky is particularly indicative of something spiritual, even if one didn’t know a thing about the religious significance of the place.” — Elena M., Columbia, MD

Artist Comments

I’ve always loved country living—it’s where my roots run deep and my inspiration finds its voice. Years ago, a small caravan of covered wagons—drawn by horses and accompanied by riders—would make their annual journey past our little ranch, traveling from a nearby township. It was a sight I looked forward to every year. Our own horses would gallop to the fence line, ears pricked and eyes wide, as if recognizing kindred spirits on the move. Our dogs would bark with excitement, alerting us to the passing parade. That humble “wagon train” sparked something in me—a quiet reverence for the American Old West and the brave pioneers who journeyed through it. Though the caravan no longer makes its trek, the memory still lingers—and it was the inspiration behind this painting.

When I think of the American Old West, it’s the covered wagons and courageous pioneer families that come to mind first. There’s something timeless and moving about the grit it took to pack up everything, climb into a wagon, and venture across the vast prairie to seek a new life out West. That sense of adventure and determination is etched into our history—and into this painting. To me, the covered wagon is more than just a relic of a bygone era. It’s an enduring icon—a symbol of the pioneering heart that helped shape a nation.

—Teresa Bernard, oil painter

Artist Comments

Calvary at Sunset is one of my more meaningful works — a quiet reflection on one of the most pivotal moments in human history. Rather than depicting the crucifixion scene itself, I chose to portray what came just after: that sacred, somber pause when His disciples gently took Christ’s lifeless body down from the cross. The sky, still ablaze with color, seems to echo the sorrow and awe of that hour.

Inspired by the Biblical account, this painting captures the reverent beauty of evening light and its ability to stir remembrance. Scripture records that Jesus endured crucifixion beginning at 9 in the morning. His disciples removed His body from the cross just before sundown — the moment I imagined while painting this scene.

It’s not meant to be a literal interpretation, but rather a tribute to faith, sacrifice, and the hope that followed. I invite you to view it as a moment of reflection — illuminated not only by sunset hues, but by the spiritual significance they embody.

—Teresa Bernard, oil painter

What we Learn from the Four Gospels

The four New Testament Gospels describe a series of extraordinary events — some supernatural, others historical — that unfolded at the moment of Christ’s death:

- Matthew mentions an earthquake, the opening of the saints’ tombs in the vicinity, and the resurrected saints making an appearance in Jerusalem.
- Mark reveals that darkness spread throughout the land, and the temple veil was ripped in two.
- Luke tells us Jesus was crucified with criminals and that the Roman soldiers mocked Him and cast lots for His clothing.
- John describes the soldiers twisting a crown of thorns together and putting it on Jesus’ head; and that Jesus was crucified at Golgotha, which means the place of the Skull.

Artist Comments

This painting is of a large white dog, possibly a Great Pyrenees. The Great Pyrenees has become one of my favorite dog breeds ever since Lobo, our Pyrenees mix, showed up at our door one day and decided to stay. Living out in the country as we do, means we get many strays who wander up to our door looking for a place to call home. We don’t know where they come from, but we never turn them away. We try to reunite them with their owner, if possible. If not, then we find them a new home or wind up adopting them ourselves. This artwork isn’t specifically of Lobo, but the dog portrayed in it sure does remind me of him.

—Teresa Bernard

A Few Fun Facts About Great Pyrenees

The Great Pyrenees makes excellent family pets with their calm, devoted, and well-mannered disposition. They are very loyal to those they love and protect the family with their lives if need be. In addition, they make excellent guard dogs, especially around livestock.

The Great Pyrenees is a dog breed of great intellect having a mind of their own; loving to figure things out by themselves and are good at problem-solving. While this is a wonderful trait, it can create a bit of a challenge when it comes to training.

Artist Comments

The east Texas moon is the inspiration behind ‘Full Moon Rising.’ My favorite time to take a walk is in the late evening before turning in for the night. On a cloudless or nearly cloudless night, I love looking up into the night sky and seeing the stars and moon. I especially love it when the moon shines so brightly that it lights up the night and makes it appear almost like day! This is just one of the many ‘bennies’ of country living.

—Teresa Bernard

The Far Side of the Moon

FYI…Did you know the common belief the moon has a dark side is a myth? The truth is both sides of the Moon see the same amount of sunlight.

The Moon makes a full rotation on its axis approximately once every 27 days. This is also approximately the same amount of time it takes the Moon to orbit the Earth, which means the same side is always facing the Earth. Astronomers refer to this as “synchronous rotation.”

Only about 59% of the moon is ever visible to Earth over the course of an orbit. The rest of the 41% — the part we call “dark” — is never visible from Earth. The “far side” of the Moon has only been seen by the human eye from a spacecraft.

The artwork is hand-signed by the artist Teresa Bernard and includes a customized Certificate of Authenticity stamped with her personal embossed seal—ensuring quality, character, and provenance.

Whether placed in a home, office, or personal collection, Texas Flag Barn adds a bold yet comforting presence. It’s more than a decorative accent—it’s a story in oil, rooted in Texas tradition and painted with pride.

Artist Comments

We Texans are a proud bunch—we wear our heritage with heart, and one way we express that pride is by painting our flag right onto the barns and outbuildings that dot the countryside. Travel through the Lone Star State, and you’ll find the Texas flag gracing rooftops and facades like bold brushstrokes of identity across the land. It’s a sight as familiar as bluebonnets in spring and sunsets that stretch for miles.

The barn in this painting is one of those iconic landmarks, nestled alongside US Highway 377 just east of Stephenville. Its weathered timbers and boldly painted flag make it a favorite among locals and travelers alike—a rural tribute to Texas grit and spirit that I couldn’t resist capturing in oil.

—Teresa Bernard, oil painter

About the Texas Flag

The Texas state flag is affectionately known as the “Lone Star Flag.” It was adopted in 1845, when Texas became the 28th state in the Union. Its iconic design features a vertical blue field beside two horizontal stripes—white above red—with a single white star centered in the blue. This lone star represents unity across Texas and reflects our shared devotion to God, state, and country.

Each color carries its own meaning:

- Blue stands for loyalty
- White represents purity
- Red signifies bravery

The Texas flag is bold in its simplicity and rich in symbolism. It’s a proud emblem painted not only on buildings, but in the hearts of Texans everywhere.
