Artist Comments

Artists frequently draw inspiration from their surroundings. We live out in the country. One of our neighbors lives down the road and around the corner from us. He has a large pond near the road with a small dock and a rowboat tied to it. Across from him is another neighbor who also has a pond near the road. It’s a smaller pond with lily pads. We pass by these two ponds almost every day on our way to and from our place to the nearby towns. The inspiration for this painting came from our neighbor’s ponds.

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. The artist has paid special attention to extending the composition all the way around the edges of the 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 most eye-catching feature of this painting is that big orange moon in the night sky with a silhouetted egret. Looking at it, one can easily imagine what it would be like to “fly away” to Earth’s only satellite.

The night sky is one of my favorite things. I love looking up at it to see the vastness of outer space, the faraway planets, the milky way along with all the stars and constellations, and of course, Earth’s moon in whichever stage it happens to be in at the time. I especially love seeing our moon shining so brightly it makes the night look like it’s daytime!

Artist Comments

Prickly pear cactus are hardy plants, well-adapted to arid conditions and are famous for their flavorful fruits and showy flowers.

From my “Life in Texas Series.” This painting of a prickly pear cactus was a fun one to do. It brought back memories of my childhood. I grew up in west Texas where these flowering desert plants are commonplace. One doesn’t really give much thought to them unless you have a personal encounter with one. Ouch! Some varieties have really long thorns that can really hurt if you’re not careful.

“Cacti very likely represent the thorns and thistles that man must reap after his fall. I believe they may also represent refreshment and survival in the most difficult of situations. Humans and animals often find refreshment and water within cacti. It isn’t ideal, but many have survived in the most dire of circumstances. God be with you all. May we fully experience the refreshment of God in this age and the age to come.” — @ArtMusic_only, Gab

Artist Comments

‘Up the Steps’ is a painting I composed from a reference photograph. This painting conveys a sense of movement as if you could walk right up those steps. And it was this aspect of the photograph that attracted me the most. I did, however, make changes to the composition to improve it.

I’m part of a social media group of artists and photographers who like to share photos of places, objects, animals, and people they’ve photographed. They allow their fellow members to paint from their reference photos. Read more about reference photos here: Reference Photos for Artists.

A unique still life painting of three rustic jugs sitting on a wood plank floor next to a white siding wall. The vintage jugs depicted vary in shape, size, and material. One is a two-toned jug made of stoneware, which was traditionally used for moonshine. Another jug is a tin water pitcher that is a pewter color. The third jug is a small dark brown ceramic container with a wire handle. Teresa Bernard signs her painting in lower left-hand corner.

Artist Comments

Rustic jugs evoke a sense of nostalgia and charm. These vessels, often made from materials like ceramic, terracotta, or galvanized metal, exude a weathered and timeless appeal.

‘Three Rustic Jugs’ has a folksy feel that appeals to me because of its simplicity; just three simple jugs sitting in an unpolished setting. If you like vintage, then this still life painting will work in your home or office decor.

Artist Comments

Flamingos are a favorite bird for artists to paint because of their brightly colored feathers, graceful S-shaped necks and stilt-like legs. For a long time, I’ve wanted to do a painting of a flamingo and I have finally accomplished it.

—Teresa Bernard

Did You Know?

    • Flamingos are one of the world’s most recognizable wading birds. They are found in freshwater and saltwater mudflats, lakes, coastal lagoons, and marshlands worldwide.
    • Carotene in their diet is what causes their feathers to become pink, orange, or red. It’s the same component that gives carrots their orange color and tomatoes red.
    • In the wild, the lifespan of a flamingo is anywhere between 20 and 30 years, but in captivity, they can live up to 50 years or longer. The oldest known flamingo reached the age of 83.
    • Flamingos lay only a single egg each year, and if something happens to it, they usually do not lay another one.
    • Chicks are born with gray or white fluffy feathers. It takes up to three years to develop their pink, orange, or red feathers.

Artist Comments

Space art has become my favorite genre of creative expression because it allows my imagination to travel to off-world locations. However, because I am a realism artist, I want to keep my art as realistic as possible. In my efforts to accomplish realistic looking space paintings, I often study NASA images and photos of galaxies, planets, stars, and suns. I also look up at the night sky to observe the Moon, stars and constellations.

In this space painting an asteroid is heading right for an Earth-like planet on a collision course.

—Teresa Bernard

An original painting depicting a comet passing by some distant planet along a path to who knows where.

Space artist Teresa Bernard signs the work in the bottom left-hand corner.

The physical canvas artwork does not have the copyright watermark ©️ teresabernardart.com.

Artist Comments

If you’re a fan of astronomy like me, you love a good night sky display, and comets are among the greatest of showmen. They don’t disappoint. Comets are among the most spectacular celestial events, with their bright, luminous “coma” and long dust and ion tails. They can appear out of nowhere and be visible for months at a time as they travel along their paths (orbits) around the Sun, creating a breathtaking and ever-changing sight.

—Teresa Bernard

A Few Things About Comets

  • Comets are best known for their long, streaming tails and are typically named for their discoverers.
  • They are made of mostly ice, dust, and frozen forms of various gases and molecules. They form far away from the Sun where the ices don’t melt.
  • They orbit the Sun in a more elliptical, or oval-shaped, path. As their path moves them closer to the Sun, they warm and begin to release their gases. The closer a comet gets to the Sun, the longer and brighter its tail will grow.
  • Comets range in size from a few miles wide to the largest known size of about 85 miles wide.
