Autumn Paintings — A Symphony of Colors

Capturing the Essence of Autumn in My Paintings

As an artist, I love color—all colors—some colors more than others. Autumn is more than just my favorite season; it’s a canvas waiting to be painted. I love dipping my brushes into the warm palette of fall—fiery reds, deep oranges, golden yellows, burnt siennas, and deep burgundies—the hues that work in harmony to make up all the colors of autumn in my paintings.

A Symphony of Colors

The essence of autumn is present in all the colors of fall. Fiery reds ignite with intensity, energy, and a hint of drama, reminiscent of leaves burning with passion in shades of crimson, scarlet, and ruby. Deep oranges are rich and comforting, embodying the warmth and abundance of fall. Golden yellows are like sunshine infuse optimism and cheer, making even the chilliest days feel cozy. Burnt siennas, a mix of rust and warm brown, are earthy and solid, conjuring up feelings of tradition and history. Deep burgundies suggest the richness of mulled wine and the allure of hidden mysteries. Autumn truly is a symphony of colors that captures the essence of the season. I strive to capture this essence in all my fall-themed paintings, and I believe it is evident in the works presented below.

A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting

This insect art is an oil painting of the Monarch Butterfly. This painting beautifully captures the wonder of nature and is ideal for any nature enthusiast.

The painting depicts a Monarch Butterfly, its vibrant hues perched atop a vivid orange flower. The butterfly’s orange and black wings stands in stunning contrast to the sky-blue backdrop, emanating tranquility and joy. In the canvas’s left corner, the signature of insect artist Teresa Bernard adds a finishing touch to the piece.

The small size of this artwork makes it perfect for rooms or areas where larger-scaled artwork would not fit. It measures only 6×6-inches and is hand-painted on artist-grade gallery wrap canvas. The Monarch Butterfly won’t need a frame because its composition extends around the edges of the canvas giving it a modern look.

Artist Comments

This monarch butterfly painting is one of several compact-size paintings I’ve composed. I decided to do some smaller paintings to attract a broader range of buyers and collectors for my art pieces. So I purchased a supply of 6×6 inch stretched canvases and started composing paintings on them. I work on these small canvases alongside the larger paintings when I paint, working on both sized artworks during the same painting session.  I had no idea how much I would enjoy creating these smaller paintings until I started doing them.

Artist Comments

This painting is of a vintage Ford V8, the same type of car that helped make “Bonnie and Clyde” famous in the early 1930s. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were notorious fugitives who traveled throughout the central states of North America with their gang during the Great Depression, robbing and murdering wherever they went. The couple’s crime spree ended in their car when they were ambushed by Texas lawmen at a roadblock and then shot to death when 100 armor-piercing bullets riddled the vehicle. Bonnie and Clyde were buried in separate cemeteries in Dallas, TX. Clyde’s gravestone reads, “Gone but not forgotten.”

Today the actual bullet-riddled death car driven by the infamous couple is on display at Whiskey Pete’s Resort and Casino in Primm, Nevada. There is no admission charge to see the exhibit. For more information about the actual car, Bonnie and Clyde met their demise in, visit Roads & Rides. See additional information at Roadside America.

Artist Comments

Autumn is my favorite time of year. The cooler, more colorful season of fall is always welcome after a long, hot summer. We have a small forest of hardwood trees in the meadow behind our house. Every fall, I love seeing them change to various shades of red, orange, and yellow.  It’s such a treat!

—Teresa Bernard

A Favorite Poem

A Tree Design
by Arna Bontemps 1902 – 1973

A tree is more than a shadow
Blurred against the sky,
More than ink spilled on the fringe
Of white clouds floating by.
A tree is more than an April design
Or a blighted winter bough
Where love and music used to be.
A tree is something in me,
Very still and lonely now.

This poem is in the public domain.

Artist Comments

‘Trees at Dusk’ painting is an artwork of orange, yellow, and dark brown oils on a canvas. The trees become silhouetted as the last rays of sunlight fade away. It was inspired by the view from my front door, which looks out onto the woods across the street.

Artist Comments

My favorite season of the year is autumn. The crisp cool air that follows a hot summer is incredibly refreshing. And the beautiful fall colors never fail to brighten my day.

I also love log cabins in a rustic setting. A vacation cabin such as this one, nestled away from it all, would be ideal! Is there any wonder why I would do this log cabin painting?
