Here, the world narrows to sand, water, and the artist’s soul.
As an artist, I find the shoreline mesmerizing—the delicate boundary where land and sea embrace. It’s a place of constant change, with waves gently stroking the shore, and seagulls weave their stories across the sky. And so, I paint, capturing the tranquil interplay of light and shadow on the coastal landscape and the shimmering ocean. My easel stands steadfast, and my palette is alive with colors of sand and sea, as I capture the essence of this delicate dance on canvas. My paintings of the beach are a visual escape to tranquil seashores. Join me on this artistic voyage.

Title: Sunset in the Tropics
Size: 6″ w x 6″ h
Canvas Type: Gallery Wrap Stretched Canvas
Frame: Unframed; Ready to Hang
Signed: On the front
COA: Signed Certificate of Authenticity
A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting
A brilliant sunset in a tropical setting is depicted in this canvas painting. The warm colors make this painting a perfect addition to any coastal-themed room.
An original oil painting featuring a sunset of vibrant colors in a tropical setting. Palm trees are in silhouette against a sky of deep blue, orange, and yellow. The setting sun hovers just above the lagoon, illuminating the water. The artist Teresa Bernard has signed this oil painting in the lower left.
This small 6×6-inch tropical sunset painting is hand-painted on gallery wrap stretched canvas. Its small size makes it ideal for small spaces or areas where space is limited. It doesn’t require a frame before display because the composition stretches around the sides of the canvas giving it a modern look. However, if you prefer to have it mounted in a frame, Sunset in the Tropics will look great in your home or office, or any place it is put on display. This sunset painting comes with a personalized Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
Sunsets in the tropics are truly something special. The combination of beautiful colors, the smell of the sea air, the feel of sand beneath your feet, and the sounds of the ocean splashing against the seashore. The rays of a setting sun have a way of making one reflect on the best things in life.
At one time or another, just about everyone has marveled at the beauty of a sunset (or sunrise) with the splendor of its red, yellow, and orange colors. It may not have been on a distant tropical island somewhere; it might have been right in your own backyard. Regardless, wherever you find yourself basking in the beauty of a sunset, it is the best place to be.

A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting

A surfer girl clad in a blue jacket carries her white surfboard with orange stripes as she walks down a beaten path to the beach. Her back is turned toward the observer allowing the viewer to decide the identity of the surfer. In the distance, the ocean waves crashing onto the shore beckons her to come.
Teresa Bernard, a renowned artist known for her oil paintings, has signed the artwork in the lower left corner.

This one-of-a-kind artwork is sure to be quite the conversation piece for anyone who loves the beach and surfing. This beachy art piece comes with a custom Certificate of Authenticity (COA) with your purchase.
‘Gone Surfing’ is a simple yet evocative phrase that captures the essence of escaping to the waves. It conjures images of sun-kissed beaches, saltwater spray, and the thrill of riding a board across the ocean’s surface. Whether you’re a seasoned surfer or a daydreamer, those two words encapsulate the freedom and adventure that await in the vast blue expanse.
When I was a young girl growing up in Texas, my family did not live anywhere near the coast. I’d watch reruns of TV shows and movies starring Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello, and other teen idols who surfed the waves, and I would daydream about the thrill of surfing myself. Had we lived near the beach, I might have been the teenage girl portrayed in this painting. Those days have passed, and I never learned to surf, but if I had…

A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting
A painting of the Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse in oils on canvas. This lighthouse stands watch alone on the North Sea shores of Denmark.
This small canvas painting features the Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse, with Denmark’s North Sea visible behind the structure. The lighthouse, which sits on the sand dunes in the foreground, is the focal point of the piece. Artist Teresa Bernard signs her work in the lower left corner.
The Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse painting is a distinctive piece that does not require framing for display. Hand-painted on a gallery-wrapped canvas, the artwork’s composition extends beyond the canvas edges, offering a seamless visual experience. The painting comes with a personalized Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
I love lighthouses! While living on the east coast, I had the opportunity to visit several of them on the shores of the Outer Banks. I also enjoy painting them and have done so numerous times throughout my fine art career. Several of those paintings were of lighthouses I had visited while living nearby. There are, however, many others in this big world that I have yet to visit and hope to do so someday. One such lighthouse is the Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse. It is the subject of this painting.
—Teresa Bernard
More about Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse
Lighthouses have stood as iconic structures along coastlines for centuries, guiding ships safely through treacherous waters. Each lighthouse has its unique history, character, and architectural design and Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse is no exception.
On the sand dunes of Denmark’s North Sea coast sits a lonely watchtower known as Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse. Its beacon once stood watch, guiding ships and other watercraft through dangerous waters. Today, however, it is in danger of falling into the sea. Shifting sands and coastal erosion are major issues in the area. The coast is eroding at a rate of 4.9 feet per year.
The lighthouse ceased operating in 1968. Its buildings were then used as a museum and coffee shop for a number of years before being abandoned due to shifting sands. The small buildings were later demolished after being severely damaged by the sand pressure.
At the current rate of erosion, the tower would have fallen into the sea by 2023. However, in 2019, a preservation group set about relocating it, and the 75ft-tall, 720-ton lighthouse was moved 230 feet inland on specially built rails. The relocation is expected to ensure the lighthouse’s survival until at least 2060.

Title: Sea of Galilee at Capernaum
Size: 20" w x 16" h
Canvas Type: Traditional Stretched Canvas
Frame: Unframed
Signed: On the front
COA: Signed Certificate of Authenticity
A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting
An oil painting depicting the modern-day Sea of Galilee and its surroundings, a site revered in Christians as the location where Jesus performed miracles, including walking on water.
A one-of-its-kind oil painting of the modern-day Sea of Galilee and its environs. In the foreground, the shore of Capernaum is painted in a painterly style with brown, red, and green paints.
Sea of Galilee at Capernaum is hand-painted on a traditional stretched canvas and signed in the lower left corner by artist Teresa Bernard. The side-stapled edges are unpainted or bare, thus it will need to be framed before it can be displayed. This canvas type works well for those who prefer the finished or traditional look of framed art. This Holy Land oil painting comes with an official Certificate of Authenticity (COA) with your purchase.
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.

“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

This original painting depicts a shrimp boat beached on the shores of the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). The artwork’s background showcases numerous trees beneath an overcast sky.

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.

The significance of a young boy and his dog playing by the lake transcends mere moments of leisure. It weaves together threads of nostalgia, companionship, and timeless connection.
‘A Boy and His Dog’ evokes the joy of life’s simplest moments when we were young, and everything held wonder. Sometimes life gets so complicated that it’s nice to stop and remember the days of our youth.
When my children were young, like the little boy in this painting, I loved to watch their fascination with the simplest things in life. Things that, as an adult, I often take for granted. Sometimes it’s nice to slow down and enjoy simple pleasures like this again.
