Reflections from the Artist

‘Blue Shutters’ is my quiet homage to the island of Karpathos—a place I’ve come to admire. As a tourist at heart, I’ve always been drawn to places I’ve never visited, intrigued by their rhythms and hidden details. I suppose it’s the explorer’s soul in me—always seeking meaning in places beyond my doorstep. Karpathos captivated me with its architecture: sun-washed stucco, vivid blue shutters, and an elegant simplicity that feels like a pause in time.

What first drew me into the creative process for this painting was a reference photo that offered more than a charming scene. It opened a doorway into a world I longed to visit and understand intimately. The interplay of cool blues, the lantern by the window, and the burst of orange blooms felt like an invitation to imagine life unfolding just beyond the frame.

Though I haven’t walked its winding streets, Karpathos left a strong impression—quietly landing on my list of places to explore firsthand someday. It’s remarkable how an image can spark that kind of longing, reminding us that art doesn’t just capture a scene; sometimes it reveals a place we didn’t know we needed to know.

This painting became a way for me to reflect on that sense of peace and curiosity—a reminder that beauty isn’t always grand. Sometimes, it’s found in quiet corners, behind blue shutters.

—Teresa Bernard, oil painter

Boat fenders rest on aged dock pilings, their surfaces marked by years of exposure. Soft light filters across timber and chain, revealing the quiet geometry of this weatherworn corner.

A quiet maritime vignette unfolds at the edge of a pier, where aged timber pilings rise, their surfaces dulled by years of sun and tide. Hanging from them are boat fenders, each one bearing the marks of wear—scuffed textures and timeworn surfaces. A rusted chain loops between pilings, its sag and patina adding depth to the scene. The light falls softly across the composition, creating gentle contrasts and a palette of deep umber, burnt orange, earthy ochre, and ruddy sienna. In the lower left corner, the painting bears the signature of Teresa Bernard, affirming both the craftsmanship and identity of the artist.

Boat Fenders is an original oil painting created on a durable 9×12-inch canvas board — chosen for its ability to hold fine detail and maintain structural integrity over time.

With its timeless composition and soulful texture, this one-of-a-kind artwork will anchor any space with quiet strength.

Reflections from the Artist

Sometimes I enjoy giving myself a challenge when selecting a subject matter for my paintings — something that nudges me to stretch my skills and lean into the details. Boat Fenders began that way. While walking near a fishing pier, I was drawn to the boat fenders hanging from a weathered pillar. It wasn’t just their placement that caught my eye, but the contrast of textures gathered in one quiet spot: the aged wood of the pier, the corroded metal of the chains, and the smooth, rubbery surface of the fenders themselves. I saw potential in capturing each surface authentically, and that challenge became the heart of the composition. Texture plays a quiet but powerful role here, and I worked deliberately to ensure those tactile qualities come through in the final piece — inviting the viewer to almost feel the scene, not just see it.

—Teresa Bernard, oil painter

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.

A single piling rises from the river’s surface in the foreground, grounding the composition and adding visual weight. The painting is signed in the lower left corner by the artist, Teresa Bernard.

Reflections from the Artist

One summer, my husband Robert and I set off on a memorable voyage along the Intracoastal Waterway. His 36-foot sailboat became our home as we traveled from Florida to Virginia for his reassignment from Naval Air Station Jacksonville to Naval Station Norfolk. The ICW offered more than just a route—it gave us quiet mornings, endless horizons, and a string of fleeting moments I wanted to hold on to.

As we cruised past quiet shores and working harbors, I kept my camera close, knowing I’d return to those moments with a brush in hand. ‘Along the Intracoastal Waterway’ began as one of those snapshots—a humble shrimp boat tucked near the shore, weathered by time and tide. That image stayed with me, quietly asking to be painted.

Curious about the Intracoastal Waterway? The ICW is a quiet inland passage stretching along the U.S. coastline. It runs from Massachusetts down the Atlantic Seaboard, around Florida’s southern tip, and west along the Gulf Coast to Texas. Many boaters enjoy this scenic route over venturing into the open ocean.

—Teresa Bernard, oil painter

Reflections from the Artist

Sometimes, the quietest compositions speak the loudest. Hilltops is one of those paintings where less truly becomes more. I was drawn to the idea of creating a landscape that felt open and unburdened — a place where the eye can rest and the mind can wander. There’s something deeply calming about a scene that isn’t crowded with detail, where the land rolls gently and the sky stretches wide.

I enjoy painting these minimalist pieces from time to time because they offer a different kind of storytelling. They don’t tell you everything — instead, they invite you to imagine what lies just beyond the next ridge. Is it a grove of trees? A quiet herd of cattle? Maybe a deer slipping through the brush or a flock of sheep grazing in the distance? That mystery is part of the charm.

My hope is that this painting gives viewers a moment of stillness — and maybe even a little spark of wonder.

—Teresa Bernard, oil painter

Reflections from the Artist

Autumn has always been my favorite season. After the heat of summer fades, that first crisp breath of fall is like a welcome sigh from nature. The air feels fresher, the light gets softer, and the leaves put on a show that never fails to lift my spirits. I’m drawn to those rich, earthy colors and the peaceful feeling that comes when everything starts to slow down a little.

I also always love the charm of a rustic cabin. Especially one tucked deep in the woods where the only sounds are rustling leaves and the occasional birdsong. A cozy getaway like that, simple and secluded, is the kind of place I often find myself dreaming about.

‘Log Cabin in The Autumn Woods’ is my way of capturing the feeling of that dream. The warmth, the quiet, the beauty of nature wrapping itself around a handmade shelter. I hope when someone looks at it, they feel the same sense of calm and contentment that autumn always brings me.

Reflections from the Artist

Living in the countryside, I’m often surrounded by quiet scenes. They speak softly but deeply—like the one in this painting. Fence posts, wild meadows, shifting skies… These are ordinary sights, but they have a way of stirring something creative in me. They frequently find their way onto my canvas.

Fence Post in the Meadow was a joy to paint. As I laid down the brushstrokes of wildflowers and weathered wood, I couldn’t help but recall another piece from my earlier work—Fence Post in the Snow. That one was wrapped in winter’s quiet hush, while this one dances in spring’s lively bloom. It’s interesting how the same humble subject—a simple fence post—can carry such a different story depending on the season.

I suppose I have a fondness for fence posts. They stand as quiet observers of rural life. And who knows… perhaps another will turn up in a future painting, when the time feels right and the inspiration strikes again.
