Artist Reflections

This painting was a joy to bring to life—not just for the gentle mood it carries, but because the young girl at its center has a personal connection to me. She’s the granddaughter of a friend I’ve known since high school, and with permission, I used a photo of her as reference. That familiarity gave the process an added layer of warmth—it felt like I was painting someone I already knew in spirit.

While the girl’s pose and expression come directly from the photo, I introduced lily pads, fish, and cattails to breathe life into the pond. These details weren’t just decorative—they brought movement, harmony, and a sense of quiet story to the scene. They helped transform a simple moment into something deeper and more inviting, one that encourages viewers to linger and connect.

About This Painting

Dressed in white and steeped in spring’s serenity, two sisters wander through lavender that grows beneath a gentle sky.

Two young ladies meander through an endless lavender field, their backs turned, faces hidden from the viewer. They are sisters, gracefully wandering beneath a sky brimming with muted clouds. The older sister, a young woman with long brown hair, wears a flowing white dress and a wide-brimmed hat accented by a soft lavender band. She carries a wicker basket brimming with freshly gathered lavender blossoms. She turns slightly, her gaze directed toward her little sister with blond hair, also dressed in white, who stands quietly with her back to the viewer, lost in her own world of wonder.

Countless lavender blooms stretch from foreground to horizon, blanketing the landscape in cool, gentle purples. Each blossom is richly textured through masterful shading and brushwork.

Artist Reflections

I was drawn to the serenity of this scene before brush ever touched canvas. ‘Sisters in Lavender’ came from a deep need to paint something peaceful—something that whispered rather than shouted. The open field, the soft hues, the gentle rhythm of the composition all gave me space to breathe. I wanted to capture the feeling of quiet companionship—the kind that exists between sisters or kindred spirits—where connection lives in gestures, shared steps, and unspoken understanding. There’s a stillness to this moment that feels held in place, as though time itself paused to honor it. Painting it was like stepping into the lavender myself—letting the air fill my lungs with its gentle scent and remembering how the simplest moments often linger longest. This is the kind of beauty I look for and try to preserve.

—Teresa Bernard, oil painter

Artist Reflections

‘A Boy and His Dog’ is a quiet tribute to the days when life felt effortless, and wonder came without asking. As children, we moved through the world with open hearts and curious eyes. Finding joy in things as small as a puddle, a boat, a pet, or the feel of sunlight on our skin. Those moments didn’t need embellishment. They were complete in their simplicity.

I think we all need reminders like this now and then because life gets busy and tangled in grown-up things. But every now and then, it’s nice to pause and remember the ease of those early days. A summer afternoon could last forever, and happiness came easy.

This painting is my way of preserving that feeling — the kind that asks nothing yet stays with us always.

—Teresa Bernard, oil painter
