About This Painting

Suspended in silence above Earth’s orbit, a spacewalker drifts—bathed in soft light, surrounded by infinite dark.

A space-themed painting depicts an American astronaut drifting weightlessly above the curvature of Earth. His spacesuit gleams with soft highlights and subtle shadowed folds, rendered with quiet precision. The spacewalker floats in space, attached to unseen lifelines securing him to the spacecraft he has emerged from. Reflected in the helmet visor, the Moon hovers silently in the distance. Behind his left shoulder, Earth glows with depth and clarity, its continents—North and South America—discernible beneath delicate layers of swirling cloud. A sea of stars unfurls across the backdrop like scattered jewels in a velvet sky. Signed by artist Teresa Bernard in the lower right-hand corner, her mark ensures originality and authorship.

Crafted in oil on premium gallery-wrapped canvas, the artwork measures 30 inches wide by 24 inches high with a 1.5-inch depth. Its composition extends around all edges, lending a sleek, modern profile that looks stunning displayed without a frame. If desired, the painting can also be framed for a more polished, classic presentation. It arrives unframed, allowing you to tailor its look to your personal style and space. With purchase, you’ll receive a customized Certificate of Authenticity, hand-signed by Teresa and embossed with her personal seal. This document confirms both the originality of the piece and its rightful provenance.

“Spacewalker” embodies the timeless wonder of exploration beyond our world. The piece captures the distinctive spirit that defines the collection, shaped by Teresa’s signature realistic style. Spacewalker makes an impactful focal point in homes, studios, or professional spaces and invites conversation with viewers of all ages.

Artist Reflections

Space has long beckoned humanity to look beyond the edge of the known world. It’s where science meets wonder, and where curiosity becomes ambition. The exploration of space isn’t just a physical journey—it’s a mirror held up to our need for perspective, for meaning, and for connection to something larger than ourselves. With ‘Spacewalker,’ I wanted to reflect that sense of orientation toward the unknown.

—Teresa Bernard, oil painter

More About Spacewalkers

The subject of this painting—a spacewalker—represents a long line of astronauts who’ve ventured outside their spacecraft during missions. These extravehicular activities (EVAs) are complex, high-stakes operations requiring precision, training, and calm under pressure. Whether maintaining equipment, conducting research, or transitioning between station modules, each EVA pushes the limits of human capability.

So far, 129 American astronauts have performed EVAs. It’s a small group, but each one has played a role in shaping spaceflight history. For a list of all spacewalkers, see the link below:

About This Painting

Muted greens and misty blues sweep across the canvas, revealing a boundless forest of pines that seem to breathe in stillness.

A dense forest of pine trees fills the canvas from edge to edge in this painting. Vertical trunks vary in subtle tone and thickness, with dark green needles clustered in natural rhythm across the upper portions. Wisps of fog drift between the trees, partially obscuring their bases and creating atmospheric layers that dissolve softly into the distance. Toward the top of the painting, the fog thins and reveals a serene sky washed in pale blue. Restrained yet purposeful brushwork defines the scene—fine strokes sculpt each tree with gentle texture, while softer blends create the illusion of depth and quiet motion. The artwork is signed by the artist Teresa Bernard in the lower left corner.

Artist Reflections

I love trees! They enrich our world in so many ways—offering shade, cleaner air, and a quiet sense of renewal. But what draws me to them most is their calming presence and natural beauty. Whether standing alone or gathered in a forest, trees seem to carry a rhythm all their own. I often think of them as nature’s silent musicians, swaying gently to a song we can feel more than hear. Capturing that stillness and harmony on canvas is something I truly enjoy.

—Teresa Bernard, oil painter

A Favorite Poem

This poem echoes the spirit of Song of the Trees—a quiet tribute to nature’s enduring presence.

Song of the Trees
by Mary Colborne-Veel

We are the Trees.
Our dark and leafy glade
Bands the bright earth with softer mysteries.
Beneath us changed and tamed the seasons run:
In burning zones, we build against the sun
Long centuries of shade.

We are the Trees,
Who grow for man’s desire,
Heat in our faithful hearts, and fruits that please.
Dwelling beneath our tents, he lightly gains
The few sufficiencies his life attains—
Shelter, and food, and fire.

We are the Trees
That by great waters stand,
By rills that murmur to our murmuring bees.
And where, in tracts all desolate and waste,
The palm-foot stays, man follows on, to taste
Springs in the desert sand.

We are the Trees
Who travel where he goes
Over the vast, inhuman, wandering seas.
His tutors we, in that adventure brave—
He launched with us upon the untried wave,
And now its mastery knows.

We are the Trees
Who bear him company
In life and death. His happy sylvan ease
He wins through us; through us, his cities spread
That like a forest guard his unfenced head
’Gainst storm and bitter sky.

We are the Trees.
On us the dying rest
Their strange, sad eyes, in farewell messages.
And we, his comrades still, since earth began,
Wave mournful boughs above the grave of man,
And coffin his cold breast.

This poem is in the public domain.

About This Painting

This large painting depicts the African Camelthorn Trees of Namibia’s Namib-Naukluft National Park in a surrealistic composition, but it is actually a realistic depiction.

A mesmerizing desert landscape unfolds across the canvas. At center stage, a cluster of camelthorn trees stands lifeless — their dark, skeletal forms silhouetted against a towering dune aglow with bright orange light from the rising sun. Leafless branches claw upward in haunting stillness, preserved by the region’s hyper-arid climate. The desert floor beneath them is drenched in deep blue shadow, cast by a neighboring dune just beyond the viewer’s sightline. The visual contrast is striking; bold oranges, midnight blues, and inky blacks create a composition that appears surreal, yet remains grounded in realism. Artist Teresa Bernard’s signature appears in the lower left-hand corner of the canvas.

“Camelthorn Trees of Africa” is hand-painted on 24×24-inch gallery-wrapped canvas. The image continues around the edges for a polished, modern look, allowing for display with or without a frame. It arrives unframed — perfect for tailoring to your personal style. This one-of-a-kind original includes a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity embossed with Teresa’s personal seal.

As part of the celebrated Adventures in Africa Series, the artwork captures the distinctive spirit that defines the collection. It makes a bold visual statement through its vivid palette and elemental structure. Whether displayed in a home, office, or gallery setting, the painting invites reflection, conversation, and admiration.

Artist Reflections

At first glance, this painting might look a bit surreal — which is unusual for me. I’m a realist painter, and I like to depict things as they truly are. But sometimes nature presents something so visually bizarre it almost feels imagined. That’s what drew me to the camelthorn trees of Namibia. These long-dead trees are preserved by the extreme aridity of the desert, and when silhouetted against a glowing dune at sunrise, they look like something out of a dream. Yet every detail is real — that’s the magic.

I was especially drawn to the bold contrasts: orange light pouring across the dune, the shadowed blue floor, and the dark, twisted tree shapes caught between. Painting it was a joy — a reminder of how truth in nature can feel surreal, and how realism sometimes reveals the unexpected.

—Teresa Bernard, oil painter

Artist Reflections

Hot air balloons have always fascinated me. There’s something magical about watching those majestic vessels rise into the sky, drifting effortlessly above the earth. As they ascend, the landscape below transforms into a patchwork of colors and contours — a quiet reminder of how beautiful the world can be when seen from a new perspective.

One summer, my family and I attended the ‘Great Texas Balloon Race’ in Longview, Texas. It’s the longest-running hot air balloon event in the state, drawing professional pilots from around the world to compete in a vibrant three-day festival. According to the event’s website, it all began in 1978 as a creative way to promote the opening of Longview’s new mall. What started as a simple advertising idea has since “ballooned” into a beloved annual tradition.

Being there in person was unforgettable. I stood close as the balloons inflated, their colors coming to life against the morning sky. Then, one by one, they lifted off — graceful, bold, and full of wonder. That moment stayed with me, and it became the inspiration for Up, Up, and Away! This painting is my tribute to the joy, freedom, and quiet thrill of watching those gentle giants take flight.

—Teresa Bernard, oil painter

Comments from Art Lovers

“Very fun subject. While looking at this painting, I was thinking of the awe that little children of 4 or 5 years must experience. Since little children enjoy the handheld colorful balloons a lot, I would like to see their expressions with a sky full of these very colorful giants.” — @JosephChristian33, Gab
