This original one-of-a-kind painting depicts a beautiful Texas Longhorn. The artwork is large and would look great on the wall of any room.

A depiction of the Texas Longhorn, a common ranch animal in the Lone Star State. In the foreground, a lone longhorn is relaxing in a lush green grass meadow. There is a dense line of trees and a blue sky overhead in the background. The Longhorn is a Texas icon, and this piece is a great way to honor the history and tradition of the Lone Star State. This piece would make a great addition to any rustic, rural, or western-themed room. The painting is signed in the lower left by Texas artist Teresa Bernard.

The artwork, Texas Longhorn in The Meadow, was professionally hand-painted on a gallery wrap stretched canvas.

Artist Comments

The Texas Longhorn is a common breed of registered cattle in Texas. They get their name from the breed’s characteristic longhorns. Some sets of horns on these massive bovines can reach a span of 7 feet from tip to tip. You have to see one of these magnificent animals in person to appreciate those vast horns. I live in East Texas, and there are several longhorn ranches near our small homestead. I love driving past those places and seeing the longhorns grazing and resting in their pastures. They were the inspiration behind this painting of a Texas Longhorn sitting in a meadow.

—Teresa Bernard

Some Fun Facts About the Texas Longhorn

    • The Texas Longhorn is descended from the first cattle brought to America by Christopher Columbus, which bred with native cattle. The breed is made up of around 80 percent Spanish blood and 20 percent “mongrel” heritage.
    • Texas Longhorns come in all colors and patterns, and no two look exactly alike. Their coat pattern can be flamboyant and loud, while others are more subtle in color.
    • Both male and female Longhorns have horns, although they will vary in shape and length according to gender. Longer horns are more desirable. The longer the horns, the more valuable the cow or bull. Calves will begin to grow their horns by three weeks of age.
    • There are Texas Longhorn ranches all over America. Longhorns easily adapt to all temperatures, from hot to cold climates. This breed of cattle can thrive in terrains and climates where other breeds have difficulty living.

Artist Comments

The Texas Horned Lizard, or simply “horny toad” as we called them when I was a kid growing up in west Texas, was a fun painting to do. It brought back lots of fond childhood memories. As children, my friends and I would see these little spiked critters all the time and often would play with them for a while, and then we would release them. As an adult, I noticed they aren’t in abundance so much anymore. So, I did a little research to find out why. Here is what I discovered from my readings.

In Search of the Horny Toad

About 70% of the Texas horned lizard’s diet is made up of harvester ants. Through the years, their population has declined by about 30%. Although I’m happy to read that they may be making a comeback. The decline is due to the overuse of pesticides and the spread of nonnative fire ants. Both eradicate harvester ant colonies, destroying the lizard’s principal source of food. The Texas horned lizard is now a protected species, and, in Texas, it is illegal to take, possess, transport, or sell them without a special permit.

According to Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine, issue August/September 2018, “Texas horned lizards once occurred throughout Texas, but now only a few populations remain. Efforts to move Texas horned lizards from one location in Texas to another, with the hope of establishing new self-sustaining populations in previously occupied habitats, are underway. Several Texas zoos are also working to develop colonies for reintroduction programs. RAWA (Recovering America’s Wildlife Act) funding would pay for “lizard factories” to help with reintroduction efforts.”

I shared a post about my findings on social media and received some interesting comments from my friends and followers.

One friend whom I’ve known since my early teen years lives in a small Texas town. She told me they have a horny toad festival every year called The Old Rip Festival. And it’s all about a horny toad named Old Rip! She sent me a link to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Magazine website. It tells all about the legend, lore, and legacy of Old Rip, a horny toad that supposedly lived for 31 years!

Another follower comments, “you still see these in West Texas and Panhandle. Fire ants haven’t taken over every inch of ground as they have here, and harvester ants are still there, so that helps with the “horny toads.” Hope they make a comeback here someday.”

Artist Comments

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.

Artist Comments

I’ve always loved country living—it’s where my roots run deep and my inspiration finds its voice. Years ago, a small caravan of covered wagons—drawn by horses and accompanied by riders—would make their annual journey past our little ranch, traveling from a nearby township. It was a sight I looked forward to every year. Our own horses would gallop to the fence line, ears pricked and eyes wide, as if recognizing kindred spirits on the move. Our dogs would bark with excitement, alerting us to the passing parade. That humble “wagon train” sparked something in me—a quiet reverence for the American Old West and the brave pioneers who journeyed through it. Though the caravan no longer makes its trek, the memory still lingers—and it was the inspiration behind this painting.

When I think of the American Old West, it’s the covered wagons and courageous pioneer families that come to mind first. There’s something timeless and moving about the grit it took to pack up everything, climb into a wagon, and venture across the vast prairie to seek a new life out West. That sense of adventure and determination is etched into our history—and into this painting. To me, the covered wagon is more than just a relic of a bygone era. It’s an enduring icon—a symbol of the pioneering heart that helped shape a nation.

—Teresa Bernard, oil painter

Artist Comments

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.

Artist Comments

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 in my National or State Parks Series.

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.

Artist Comments

The east Texas moon is the inspiration behind ‘Full Moon Rising.’ My favorite time to take a walk is in the late evening before turning in for the night. On a cloudless or nearly cloudless night, I love looking up into the night sky and seeing the stars and moon. I especially love it when the moon shines so brightly that it lights up the night and makes it appear almost like day! This is just one of the many ‘bennies’ of country living.

—Teresa Bernard

The Far Side of the Moon

FYI…Did you know the common belief the moon has a dark side is a myth? The truth is both sides of the Moon see the same amount of sunlight.

The Moon makes a full rotation on its axis approximately once every 27 days. This is also approximately the same amount of time it takes the Moon to orbit the Earth, which means the same side is always facing the Earth. Astronomers refer to this as “synchronous rotation.”

Only about 59% of the moon is ever visible to Earth over the course of an orbit. The rest of the 41% — the part we call “dark” — is never visible from Earth. The “far side” of the Moon has only been seen by the human eye from a spacecraft.

Artist Comments

We Texans are a proud bunch—we wear our heritage with heart, and one way we express that pride is by painting our flag right onto the barns and outbuildings that dot the countryside. Travel through the Lone Star State, and you’ll find the Texas flag gracing rooftops and facades like bold brushstrokes of identity across the land. It’s a sight as familiar as bluebonnets in spring and sunsets that stretch for miles.

The barn in this painting is one of those iconic landmarks, nestled alongside US Highway 377 just east of Stephenville. Its weathered timbers and boldly painted flag make it a favorite among locals and travelers alike—a rural tribute to Texas grit and spirit that I couldn’t resist capturing in oil.

About the Texas Flag

Flag of TexasThe Texas state flag is affectionately known as the “Lone Star Flag.” It was adopted in 1845, when Texas became the 28th state in the Union. Its iconic design features a vertical blue field beside two horizontal stripes—white above red—with a single white star centered in the blue. This lone star represents unity across Texas and reflects our shared devotion to God, state, and country.

Each color carries its own meaning:

    • Blue stands for loyalty
    • White represents purity
    • Red signifies bravery

The Texas flag is bold in its simplicity and rich in symbolism. It’s a proud emblem painted not only on buildings, but in the hearts of Texans everywhere.
