Artist Reflections
Where I live, round hay bales are part of the everyday scenery—resting in freshly cut fields, tucked along fence lines, or nestled behind barns waiting to be fed out. You can’t drive far in rural east Texas without seeing them. They speak to the rhythm of farm life, the effort behind every harvest, and the kind of work that keeps things going quietly in the background.
When I created this piece, I wasn’t just painting hay—I was painting something familiar and grounding. It’s part of a series I call “Life in Texas.” Through these paintings, I try to capture small details that reflect something honest about our way of living. The round shape of the bales. Their golden color in the late-day sun. The open field. Each element holds a quiet sense of calm for me. They remind me of how simple things, like a field of hay, can carry the weight of tradition and purpose.
This painting was made to reflect that feeling. Not just what the land looks like—but how it feels to stand in it.
—Teresa Bernard, oil painter
