Artist Comments

I love flowers! I enjoy painting them too, especially closeup and bathed in the warm sunlight. I’m always on the lookout for a beautiful flower to paint, and the King Protea flower is certainly one that inspires me. Its large, beautiful blossom made it a perfect subject for this flower painting.

—Teresa Bernard

About The King Protea Flower

  • The King Protea (pronounced “prō – dē – a”) became the national flower of South Africa in 1976. This plant, named after Proteus, a Greek god who could change his form at will, is one of the oldest flowering plants on earth, dating back 300 million years. Many varieties of protea can be found in South Africa, Australia, Asia, and parts of South America.
  • King Proteas, whose blossom resembles an artichoke, is the largest member of the Protea family. They can grow as large as 3-4 feet tall with flowers 8-10 inches in diameter. The blossom has a substantial white fuzzy center with pointy pink or white petals surrounding the center, along with leathery green petals that cradle the large, heavy blossom and a thick stem that supports it. King Proteas typically bloom during the winter and spring (June to October).

Their vibrant hues instantly uplift the spirit, infusing every corner of my home with the warmth and magic of the holiday season. The sight of these beautiful flowers sets the perfect festive mood and reminds me of all the wonderful traditions that make Christmas so special.

Fun Things to Know About the Poinsettia

Poinsettias are associated with Christmas and are also known as the Christmas Star and Christmas Flower. Other than the Christmas tree, there is no other plant that symbolizes Christmas, like the poinsettia.

Poinsettias are perennials that bloom during the winter season. They come in over a hundred different colors, including red, pink, white, and yellow. Varieties within these hues include solids, streaked, marbled, and multicolored. The bright “flowers” are actually modified leaves called bracts, with the true blooms (the tiny yellow button-like buds) in the bracts’ center.

Artist Comments

Sometimes flowers can be tiny and yet still beautiful. God’s handiwork in nature continues to be an excellent source of inspiration from which to create my paintings. This dill flowers painting is a prime example. What attracts me to this composition is the feeling of abstractness one gets, but you quickly discover a close-up of some dill flowers when you look closer.

—Teresa Bernard

About Dill Flowers

  • Dill (Anethum graveolens) is an aromatic annual herb with delicate, feathery green leaves and tiny, white or yellow flowers that blossom during the mid-summer. For centuries dill was revered for its culinary and medicinal properties.
  • Dill is mentioned in three places in the Bible (Isaiah 28:25 & 27 and Matthew 23:23) and in ancient Egyptian writings. Once considered a sign of wealth, ancient Greek and Roman cultures used dill as currency. Today, dill is one of the most widely used spices in European and Asian cuisine.

A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting

A one-of-a-kind flower painting with white calla lilies against a blue background.

A smaller flower painting of two white calla lilies on a sky-blue background. Viewed from the side, their unique trumpet-like shape is accentuated. A yellow spadix stands at the heart of each bloom, surrounded by a generous green leaf. Teresa Bernard, a fine artist who specializes in oil paintings, has signed this piece in the lower right-hand side.

White Calla Lilies on Blue was created by hand on gallery-wrapped stretched canvas. Because the artwork composition extends around the edges of the canvas, no frame is required to display it.

The copyright watermark ©️ teresabernardart.com is not present on the physical canvas art.

Artist Comments

I struggled to come up with a title for this painting. Every artist in the world seems to call their calla lily paintings by the same name. So, I kept looking for title ideas and ended up at the website of Georgia O’Keeffe, an American artist whose artworks have influenced me.  She created several calla lily paintings, one of which she titled ‘Two Calla Lilies on Pink.’ Her title became an inspiration for mine: ‘White Calla Lilies on Blue.’

The calla lily has always been one of my favorite flowers. I just love its beauty. It gets its name from the Greek word for “beautiful.” The calla lily has a bloom that resembles a trumpet. Did you know the most popular color of calla lily is white? The white calla lily symbolizes purity and innocence. It is also associated with faithfulness and holiness, which is a reason why you often see them used at Easter services and weddings.

Artist Comments

This small oil painting of the yellow rose was a fun one to do. I like doing small paintings like this one as it allows me to work on several art pieces in the same painting session. Obviously, I can finish smaller paintings much faster than larger one. Often, you will find me working on a large canvas and having several smaller paintings like this one going at the same time.
