A radiant King Protea blossom takes center stage in this striking oil painting, its creamy white petals unfolding within a lush crown of broad green leaves.

Artist Comments

I love flowers! Their quiet strength, ever-changing beauty, and the way sunlight dances across their petals always captivate me. Capturing those details up close is one of my favorite ways to paint. There’s something intimate and revealing about zooming in on a bloom—it invites us to pause and truly see what’s often overlooked.

The King Protea flower drew me in the moment I saw it. With its grand, sculptural blossom and bold foliage, it felt like royalty in bloom. It carries a certain majesty, but there’s also a softness to it, especially when bathed in warm light. That contrast—the regal presence paired with natural grace—inspired me deeply and made it a perfect subject for this painting.

Artist Comments

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

A few years ago, I was commissioned to create a series of five paintings for a gentleman who loves Africa. 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 like to other paintings on Africa, and ‘Eye of The Zebra’ is one of them.

Painting Description

This large painting depicts the African Camelthorn Trees of Namib-Naukluft National Park in a surrealistic composition, but it is actually a realistic depiction.

A surreal-like painting of the famous camelthorn (or camel thorn) trees in the desert dunes of African Namib-Naukluft National Park. The lifeless trees are in silhouette and surrounded by sand bathed in vibrant colors of orange and blue. Hand-painted and signed in the lower left-hand corner by fine artist Teresa Bernard.

This unique desert painting is painted by hand on gallery-wrapped canvas. It doesn’t require a frame before display because the composition stretches around the sides of the canvas giving it a modern look. Whichever you prefer, framed or not, Camelthorn Trees of Africa will make an excellent conservation starter in your home, place of business, or wherever it is displayed. Comes with a custom Certificate of Authenticity.

Artist Comments

This camelthorn trees painting was a fun one to do. At first, it appears to be a bit surreal; not the art genre that I do. I’m a realist painter, which means I try to paint things as they appear. The artwork is a landscape painting created from a photograph of Namib-Naukluft National Park in Africa. It depicts camelthorn trees with a dune rising in the background. The dune is bathed in orange by the effects of a rising sun. The trees are in shadow from another nearby dune. Some believe these trees have been dead for hundreds of years and that their failure to decompose is because the desert is so arid.
