Artist Comments

Zebras possess a captivating charm thanks to their distinctive black-and-white striped coats. The pattern of each zebra is as unique as a human fingerprint.

I was commissioned a few years ago to create a series of five commission paintings for a gentleman who loves Africa. (You can find those in Past Work.) They included the landscape and wildlife of Africa. I really enjoyed doing them as it made me feel like I was actually there on some kind of safari. Every now and then, I’ll do another painting on Africa, and ‘Eye of The Zeba’ is one of them.

Artist Comments

‘Lightning Strikes’ painting is inspired my fascination for the weather. I love standing on my porch watching a storm roll in. I love watching lightning bolts flash across the sky. And I especially love the rainbow that appears after the storm, because it reminds me of God’s promise from long ago. (See the Scriptures below.)

Weather is a powerful, tremendous force, and when unleashed it can be very destructive. Do I enjoy the destruction that sometimes happens from all that power? No way, no how. But because of God’s covenant promise, the storm gives me a sensation that He is nearby and watching over me. I sense His presence and I am not afraid.

—Teresa Bernard

Genesis 9:12-16 (NASB)

12 God said, “This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations;
13 I have set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall serve as a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.
14 It shall come about, when I make a cloud appear over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,
15 and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 When the rainbow is in the cloud, then I will look at it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”

I used a free photo from Pixabay.com as a reference for this painting. Pixabay offers an online collection of copyright-free images that are available for download and use without needing attribution. Occasionally, the website inspires my artwork.

For the “Blue Shutters” piece, I chose a photo taken on the Greek island of Karpathos. I altered the composition to avoid creating an exact copy of the photograph. Unfortunately, the photo has been removed from the Pixabay website, otherwise I would provide a link for comparison.

Artist Comments

Sometimes I like to give myself a challenge when choosing a subject matter for my paintings. I found these fishing boat fenders tied to the pillar of a fishing pier very interesting because of all the different textures (wood pier, rusty chains, and rubbery boat fenders) present. I thought they would make an interesting challenge trying to paint all that texture. One does get a sense of texture from the detail in this artwork.

What are boat fenders?

A boat fender is a type of bumper or cushioned buffer used to prevent a boat or other watercraft from bumping into a dock, pier, or another boat causing damage to its hull. They are often constructed of rubber, foam, or plastic, and they come in various shapes and sizes depending on their use.

Artist Comments

In the summer of 1999, my husband Robert and I navigated his 36-foot sailboat along the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) from Florida to Virginia. Robert, a military serviceman, was transferring from Naval Air Station Jacksonville to Naval Station Norfolk. The journey presented us with many fascinating sights along the waterway, offering ample chances to capture photographs for my future paintings. “Along The ICW,” depicting a stranded shrimp boat, was inspired by a photo I snapped on that voyage.

—Teresa Bernard

About The ICW

The Intracoastal Waterway is a 3,000-mile waterway network comprising inland rivers, channels, and canals along the eastern and southeastern coasts of the United States. It is split into the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. The waterway includes both man-made canals and natural water bodies like inlets, saltwater rivers, bays, and sounds.

The ICW stretches from Boston, MA, down the Atlantic Seaboard, around Florida’s southern tip, and along the Gulf Coast to Brownsville, TX. Its main function is to offer a secure and navigable route for light commercial and personal pleasure vessels, providing a safer alternative to the perils of open sea travel.

I love bright red poinsettias! If you came for a visit at Christmastime, you’d see a lot of them decorating my house. Christmas simply wouldn’t be Christmas without them! The vibrant red and green colors immediately put us in the holiday spirit.

—Teresa Bernard

Fun Things to Know About the Poinsettia

Poinsettias are associated with Christmas and are also known as the Christmas Star and Christmas Flower. Other than the Christmas tree, there is no other plant that symbolizes Christmas, like the poinsettia.

Poinsettias are perennials that bloom during the winter season. They come in over a hundred different colors, including red, pink, white, and yellow. Varieties within these hues include solids, streaked, marbled, and multicolored. The bright “flowers” are actually modified leaves called bracts, with the true blooms (the tiny yellow button-like buds) in the bracts’ center.

Artist Comments

This is a very simple and uncluttered composition of hilltops. Simplistic or minimal composition paintings can sometimes have a calming effect on the viewer, as well as stir the imagination, which is one reason why I enjoy doing them on occasion. When looking at this painting, one has to wonder what lies beyond the next ridge. More trees, a herd of cows, a bevy of deer, or a flock of sheep? Viewers can let their imaginations run wild with this one.

Details & Description

Title: The Broadside of a Barn
Size: 12″ w x 9″ h
Canvas Type: Canvas Board
Frame: Unframed
Signed: On the front 
COA: Signed Certificate of Authenticity

A sunset painting of an old, weathered barn with a bright yellow moon overhead. This 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 painting presents a close-up perspective of an old countryside barn’s side, with its planks showing signs of aging and weathering. Above it, a vivid yellow Harvest Moon casts its glow. It is hand-painted and bears the signature of oil painting artist Teresa Bernard in the bottom right corner.

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.

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?
