Artist Comments

Autumn is my favorite time of year. The cooler, more colorful season of fall is always welcome after a long, hot summer. We have a small forest of hardwood trees in the meadow behind our house. Every fall, I love seeing them change to various shades of red, orange, and yellow. It’s such a treat!

—Teresa Bernard

A Favorite Poem

A Tree Design
by Arna Bontemps 1902 – 1973

A tree is more than a shadow
Blurred against the sky,
More than ink spilled on the fringe
Of white clouds floating by.
A tree is more than an April design
Or a blighted winter bough
Where love and music used to be.
A tree is something in me,
Very still and lonely now.

Artist Comments

It’s been a long, scorching summer, with temperatures often exceeding 100 degrees. Staying indoors where the A/C is running is the best way to beat the heat. However, sometimes I just had to get outside for a while and usually I could be found in the shade of the large tree next to our house. What do I notice when glancing up while standing in that shade? I saw branches stretching skyward filled with green leaves and the sky peaking between them.

—Teresa Bernard

A Favorite Poem

Trees
by Joyce Kilmer 1886 – 1918

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

This painting captures the simplicity and warmth of country life in a bygone era. The farmhouse is old, neglected, and worn, but the overgrown lawn with a few white wildflowers shows that there is still life here.

Everyone has their own idea of what is beautiful. For some, it’s something that’s clean and polished. For others, it’s something that’s rough and raw. This artwork is for those who love the beauty of something that’s worn and well-loved. This farmhouse painting will give your home a rustic feel.

Artist Comments

Zebras possess a captivating charm thanks to their distinctive black-and-white striped coats. The pattern of each zebra is as unique as a human fingerprint.

I was commissioned a few years ago to create a series of five commission paintings for a gentleman who loves Africa. (You can find those in Past Work.) They included the landscape and wildlife of Africa. I really enjoyed doing them as it made me feel like I was actually there on some kind of safari. Every now and then, I’ll do another painting on Africa, and ‘Eye of The Zeba’ is one of them.

Artist Comments

I love all flowers; however, the sunflower is one of my favorites. I love the bright sunshine-yellow petals and huge blossoms that resemble the sun. Most sunflower paintings are composed of the front of the blossom. However, the backsides of some flowers are just as beautiful, and the sunflower is certainly one.

—Teresa Bernard

About Sunflowers

- The sunflower is a plant that is native to North America. Later it was introduced to Mexico and Peru. They can grow up to 6 feet tall and prefer dry, sunny places where their roots can dig deep into the soil.
- When the plant is in the bud stage, it will face the sun following its movement across the sky from horizon to horizon. This movement allows it to get the maximum amount of the sun’s rays. After the flower has fully opened into the radiance of yellow petals, it will face only east. No one knows why it does this. One theory is it is possibly a defensive response to prevent the sun from scalding the seed pod during hot summer days.
- The sunflower is often equated as a symbol of spiritual faith, worship, adoration, loyalty, and longevity, perhaps because it always seeks the “Light.”

Read more about the Life in Texas Series here.

Artist Comments

This oil painting is part of a series of paintings about what life is like in the great state of Texas. Round hay bales are one of the most iconic images of rural America. These farm-fresh bales represent the hard work and dedication required to provide for our country.

Cattle ranchers abound here in east Texas, and since cattle and other farm animals need food, we also have a lot of hay farmers. Everywhere you go, if you don’t see cattle or horses grazing in a large pasture, you’ll most likely see hay growing there, or you’ll see hay that has been harvested and baled.

Hay farmers harvest their hay using equipment called balers. Balers can bale (package) hay in various ways — small rectangle bales, large square or rectangular bales, or large round bales. The large round bales can weigh anywhere from 800 to over 1,500 pounds! When they are that heavy, they have to be moved around with hay forks attached to tractors.

Many cattlemen prefer the round bales instead of small rectangle bales as they are less labor-intensive to store and transfer and easier to feed to their cattle. They place these large round bales inside hay rings so their cattle and horses can graze on them for days. However, small farms and ranches may still use the smaller rectangle hay bales since they have fewer heads of cattle to feed.

Artist Comments

‘Gone Surfing’ is a simple yet evocative phrase that captures the essence of escaping to the waves. It conjures images of sun-kissed beaches, saltwater spray, and the thrill of riding a board across the ocean’s surface. Whether you’re a seasoned surfer or a daydreamer, those two words encapsulate the freedom and adventure that await in the vast blue expanse.

When I was a young girl growing up in Texas, my family did not live anywhere near the coast. I’d watch reruns of TV shows and movies starring Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello, and other teen idols who surfed the waves, and I would daydream about the thrill of surfing myself. Had we lived near the beach, I might have been the teenage girl portrayed in this painting. Those days have passed, and I never learned to surf, but if I had…

Artist Comments

This tractor tire painting was a little bit of an experiment for me. I like to give myself challenges from time to time. For this particular challenge, I wanted to see if I could paint rubber and make it look like rubber. I believe I achieved that goal.

What I like best about this painting are the various textures present in the composition — the wood, the rubber, and even the rusted metal rim. It was an enjoyable challenge painting all those textures and getting them just right. In addition, there are warm colors that contrast against the cool ones. There are so many interesting things going on in this painting; it was a lot of fun to paint!

This painting would be the perfect art piece for the man cave, especially if you love farm tractors or cars. I can imagine no one would have ever thought a tractor tire would be the focal point for a painting.

Artist Comments

‘Lightning Strikes’ painting is inspired my fascination for the weather. I love standing on my porch watching a storm roll in. I love watching lightning bolts flash across the sky. And I especially love the rainbow that appears after the storm, because it reminds me of God’s promise from long ago. (See the Scriptures below.)

Weather is a powerful, tremendous force, and when unleashed it can be very destructive. Do I enjoy the destruction that sometimes happens from all that power? No way, no how. But because of God’s covenant promise, the storm gives me a sensation that He is nearby and watching over me. I sense His presence and I am not afraid.

—Teresa Bernard

Genesis 9:12-16 (NASB)

12 God said, “This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations;
13 I have set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall serve as a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.
14 It shall come about, when I make a cloud appear over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,
15 and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 When the rainbow is in the cloud, then I will look at it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”
