Artist Comments

This is a very simple and uncluttered composition of hilltops. Uncluttered paintings can sometimes have a calming effect on the viewer, 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.

See the art lesson Principles of Good Design: Visual Economy for more information on the subject of simplicity and how it is used in art.

Artist Comments:

Up the Steps is a painting I composed from a reference photograph. This painting conveys a sense of movement as if you could walk right up those steps. And it was this aspect of the photograph that attracted me the most. I did, however, make changes to the composition to improve it.

I’m part of a social media group of artists and photographers who like to share photos of places, objects, animals, and people they’ve photographed. They allow their fellow members to paint from their reference photos. Read more about reference photos here: Reference Photos for Artists

About this Tractor Tire Painting

Title: Tractor Tire
Size: 12″ w x 16″ h
Support: Gallery Wrap Stretched Canvas
Shape: Vertical (portrait)
Description: A close-up painting of a tractor tire, a common farm implement. The tire is worn and the rim is rusted. A wood plank floor can be seen in the background, with another tire peeking in. This painting is ideal for anyone who enjoys farm, country, or rustic decor.

This work of art will not need a frame as the painted composition extends around the edges of the stretched canvas. Hand-painted and signed by artist Teresa Bernard.

This painting comes with an official Certificate of Authenticity. More information here.

Artist Comments

This Tractor Tire painting was a little bit of an experiment for me. I like to give myself challenges from time to time. For this particular challenge, I wanted to see if I could paint rubber and make it look like rubber. I believe I achieved that goal.

What I like best about this painting are the various textures present in the composition — the wood, the rubber, and even the rusted metal rim. It was an enjoyable challenge painting all those textures and getting them just right. In addition, there are warm colors that contrast against the cool ones. There are so many interesting things going on in this painting; it was a lot of fun to paint!

This painting would be the perfect art piece for the man cave, especially if you love farm tractors or cars. I can imagine no one would have ever thought a tractor tire would be the focal point for a painting.

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.
