Artist Reflections

Some of the most gorgeous sunsets in the world happen right here in Texas — though I’ll admit, I might be just a tad bit biased. I love the vibrant, colorful sunsets that I get to enjoy almost every evening. And I’ve always loved the idea of cowboys, horses, and the Old West.

This painting of a cowboy gazing off into the sunset takes me back to my childhood when pretty much all you could watch on TV were westerns. It was a fantasy life all of us kids dreamed about living someday. We would pretend to be cowboys and rode imaginary horses for hours until Mom called us in for supper. Those memories still make me smile.

Years later, when my husband decided it was time to retire from the Navy and settle down to live life as civilians again, we bought some land and built a small ranch in east Texas with a couple of horses, a donkey, and a few head of cattle. It was our dream to live a modern version of the cowboy way of life.

—Teresa Bernard, oil painter

Artist Reflections

Calvary at Sunset is one of my more meaningful works — a quiet reflection on one of the most pivotal moments in human history. Rather than depicting the crucifixion scene itself, I chose to portray what came just after: that sacred, somber pause when His disciples gently took Christ’s lifeless body down from the cross. The sky, still ablaze with color, seems to echo the sorrow and awe of that hour.

Inspired by the Biblical account, this painting captures the reverent beauty of evening light and its ability to stir remembrance. Scripture records that Jesus endured crucifixion beginning at 9 in the morning. His disciples removed His body from the cross just before sundown — the moment I imagined while painting this scene.

It’s not meant to be a literal interpretation, but rather a tribute to faith, sacrifice, and the hope that followed. I invite you to view it as a moment of reflection — illuminated not only by sunset hues, but by the spiritual significance they embody.

—Teresa Bernard, oil painter

What we Learn from the Four Gospels

The four New Testament Gospels describe a series of extraordinary events — some supernatural, others historical — that unfolded at the moment of Christ’s death:

    • Matthew mentions an earthquake, the opening of the saints’ tombs in the vicinity, and the resurrected saints making an appearance in Jerusalem.
    • Mark reveals that darkness spread throughout the land, and the temple veil was ripped in two.
    • Luke tells us Jesus was crucified with criminals and that the Roman soldiers mocked Him and cast lots for His clothing.
    • John describes the soldiers twisting a crown of thorns together and putting it on Jesus’ head; and that Jesus was crucified at Golgotha, which means the place of the Skull.

Signed by the artist Teresa Bernard in the lower left corner, the signature ensures originality and authorship.

Artist Reflections

Ballet has long been a form of artistic expression I deeply admire. There’s something truly captivating about watching dancers perform live—the music, the sets, the ambiance, and above all, the grace with which they move across the stage to tell a story. When I attend a ballet, I’m always struck by the combination of elegance and strength. It’s an art form that lives and breathes in motion.

Of course, ballet isn’t for the faint of heart. Aspiring professionals often begin their training as early as age two, and joining a reputable dance company takes years of rigorous practice and precise technique. The discipline is intense, and the toll on a dancer’s body can be severe—injuries are unfortunately common in the pursuit of such physical and artistic perfection.

I was in my late teens when I attended my first ballet performance. My best friend Cyndie and her family had tickets to see the Nutcracker Suite at a local theater. I can’t remember why, but she couldn’t go, so Cyndie gave me her ticket. She felt that out of all her friends, I would appreciate the ballet the most—and she was right! That night planted something special inside me. I’ll always be grateful to Cyndie for opening the door to a world that continues to inspire me, both as a viewer and as an artist.

Artist Reflections

Back in 2015, my husband Robert and I set off for Amarillo, Texas, not knowing our vacation would be deeply shaped by the quiet splendor of Palo Duro Canyon. We visited the state park multiple times during that trip—it quickly became our favorite stop. There was something about the vastness of it all, the layered cliffs glowing with late-day sun, and the stillness that settles over you when you’re surrounded by the stillness of the Texas Panhandle.

The Lighthouse rock formation was especially memorable. It’s one of the canyon’s most iconic landmarks and definitely a highlight for anyone visiting the park. On our hikes, it felt almost like a sentinel, emerging from the rugged ground and scrubby brush, watching silently over the canyon’s expanse. I came away with countless reference photos and a renewed sense of artistic inspiration—not just for this painting, but for several others that would follow.

Palo Duro Canyon is affectionately called “The Grand Canyon of Texas,” and with good reason. It stretches 120 miles and dives as deep as 800 feet in places, rich with color and texture. But what stays with me most isn’t the stats—it’s the feeling. And it’s that feeling I hoped to capture on canvas: the quiet strength of stone, the warmth of sunlit cliffs, and the spirit of a place etched into the land and the memory.

—Teresa Bernard, oil painter

About Poinsettias

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.

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. The scene stirs the senses—one can almost smell the faint lavender on the breeze, enhancing the tranquility that settles over the viewer like a soft sigh. Signed by artist Teresa Bernard in the lower left corner, the signature ensures both originality and authenticity.

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.

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.

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

About This Painting

A spacecraft quietly drifts past an alien world adorned with twin moons, journeying through star-laced darkness under the warm glow of a distant red sun.

In this original artwork, a spacecraft resembling a NASA space capsule takes center canvas as it glides through deep space, passing by an Earth-like planet crowned with two luminous moons. A brilliant red sun in the upper right corner casts soft, diffuse light across the celestial forms, while a single comet arcs across the galactic plane—its glowing trail a whisper of motion and mystery. Radiant star clusters punctuate the black void, hinting at unfathomable depth and cosmic grandeur. Artist Teresa Bernard signs this piece in the lower left corner—an assurance of originality and authorship.

Painted in oil on a gallery-wrapped canvas measuring 24 inches wide by 18 inches tall with a 1.5-inch depth. The image is skillfully extended onto all edges for a frameless, ready-to-hang presentation. However, if you prefer, the painting can be framed to achieve a more traditional look. It arrives unframed—perfect for tailoring to your personal style and space. A Certificate of Authenticity is included, hand-signed by Teresa and stamped with her embossed seal to ensure provenance and authenticity.

“Space…The Next Frontier” captures the wonder and ambition of humanity’s quest beyond Earth’s atmosphere. Rendered in Teresa’s signature realistic style, it offers a glimpse of celestial beauty that invites reflection while honoring the pioneering spirit of space exploration. A compelling tribute to cosmic exploration, this piece is more than decor—it’s an invitation to dream, discover, and proudly display a vision of humanity’s boldest frontier.

Artist Reflections

I’ve always loved a good sci-fi adventure—Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate… any story that dares to venture off-world, deep into space. I sometimes joke that I missed my calling as an astronaut, but then again, maybe I ended up right where I belong—God knows. My passion for exploration—especially the vast mystery of outer space—naturally found its way into my art.

‘Space…The Next Frontier’ was born from that spirit of curiosity and wonder. To me, space isn’t the end of the journey—it’s simply the next step. I believe there’s a far greater destination beyond even the stars: eternity with our Creator God. The Holy Bible speaks profoundly about this, and if you’re curious, I wholeheartedly encourage you to explore it.

—Teresa Bernard, oil painter

Comments from Art Lovers

“When I was a little kid, I loved to draw spaceships during every idle moment. The adult caregivers eventually cured me of that allegedly bad habit. I know it doesn’t pay well, but please continue with your space-themed art. I think your painting is beautiful!” — @Skylark5, Gab

Artist Reflections

The inspiration for ‘Full Moon Rising’ comes straight from my own backyard in east Texas. One of my favorite rituals is taking a quiet walk in the late evening, just before turning in for the night. On clear nights, the stars scatter across the sky like glitter, and the Moon — especially when it’s full — glows so brightly it transforms the landscape. There’s something magical about seeing the countryside bathed in moonlight. It’s one of the many gifts of country living: the stillness, the clarity, and the chance to witness nature’s quiet drama.
