Silhouettes exist at the intersection of light and shadow, where simplicity meets depth. Their subtle interplay fascinates us, as it sparks our imagination, turning ordinary scenes into enchanting experiences. As an artist of silhouette paintings, I use bold lines and stark contrasts to capture these moments in shadow. Below, you’ll find my work capturing those contrasting moments on canvas.

Title: Sunset in the Tropics
Size: 6″ w x 6″ h
Canvas Type: Gallery Wrap Stretched Canvas
Framing: Unframed; Ready to Hang
Signed: On the front
COA: Signed Certificate of Authenticity
A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting
A brilliant sunset in a tropical setting is depicted in this canvas painting. The warm colors make this painting a perfect addition to any coastal-themed room.
An original oil painting featuring a sunset of vibrant colors in a tropical setting. Palm trees are in silhouette against a sky of deep blue, orange, and yellow. The setting sun hovers just above the lagoon, illuminating the water. The artist Teresa Bernard has signed this oil painting in the lower left.
This small 6×6-inch tropical sunset painting is hand-painted on gallery wrap stretched canvas. Its small size makes it ideal for small spaces or areas where space is limited. It doesn’t require a frame before display because the composition stretches around the sides of the canvas giving it a modern look. However, if you prefer to have it mounted in a frame, Sunset in the Tropics will look great in your home or office, or any place it is put on display. This sunset painting comes with a personalized Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
Sunsets in the tropics are truly something special. The combination of beautiful colors, the smell of the sea air, the feel of sand beneath your feet, and the sounds of the ocean splashing against the seashore. The rays of a setting sun have a way of making one reflect on the best things in life.
At one time or another, just about everyone has marveled at the beauty of a sunset (or sunrise) with the splendor of its red, yellow, and orange colors. It may not have been on a distant tropical island somewhere; it might have been right in your own backyard. Regardless, wherever you find yourself basking in the beauty of a sunset, it is the best place to be.

A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting
A bright orange moon and two silhouetted egrets grace this colorful painting.
A vibrant one-of-a-kind painting of a bright orange moon in the night sky with two egrets in silhouette. One egret is perched atop a tree in silhouette, while the other is in flight. A starry sky and a blue glow from Earth’s atmosphere can be seen behind the full moon.
Fly Me to The Moon is a sturdy 9×12-inch canvas board artwork that was painstakingly painted and hand-signed by space artist Teresa Bernard in the lower left-hand corner. Before hanging this artwork on the wall, it is best to frame it. This night sky wall art includes an official Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
The most eye-catching feature of this painting is that big orange moon in the night sky with a silhouetted egret flying by. 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!

A spectacular lightning bolt strikes the ground in this stormy sunset painting.
A massive lightning bolt streaks from the sky, spreads out, and strikes the ground in this colorful sunset painting. The clouds are dark and tempestuous, creating a menacing and gloomy sky. This stormy weather artwork is one-of- a-kind and signed in the bottom left corner by oil painting artist Teresa Bernard.
‘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.”

A silhouetted cowboy looks off into a vivid sunset in this large western painting.
A vivid one-of-its-kind sunset painting with the silhouette of a cowboy as he gazes across the horizon at the setting sun. The sky is ablaze with yellows, reds, and oranges. This work is part of the “Life in Texas” series. Hand-painted and signed in the lower left side by Texas artist Teresa Bernard.
This landscape canvas art is painted by hand on gallery-wrapped stretched canvas. It doesn’t require a frame before display because the composition stretches around the sides of the canvas giving it a trendy look. But if framing is more your style, Cowboy Sunset will look fantastic in your home, office, or anywhere it can be viewed and appreciated. This sunset artwork comes with a personalized Certificate of Authenticity (COA) with your purchase.
Some of the most gorgeous sunsets in the world happen right here in Texas, but of course, I might be just a tad bit biased. I love the bright, colorful sunsets that I get to enjoy almost every evening. And I also love the idea of cowboys, horses, and the Old West.
This painting with a cowboy gazing off into the sunset reminds me of 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.
When my husband decided it was time to retire from the Navy and settle down to live life as civilians, we bought some land and built a small ranch in East Texas with a couple of horses, a donkey, and a few heads of cattle. It was our dream to live the cowboy way of life.

Title: Camelthorn Trees of Africa
Size: 24" w x 24" h
Canvas Type: Gallery Wrap Stretched Canvas
Framing: Unframed; Ready to Hang
Signed: On the front
COA: Signed Certificate of Authenticity
Series: Part of the Adventures in Africa Series
A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting
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 stretched 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 (COA).
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.
“Fabulous! Love the storyline! I have a photo of a similar plot in S Africa from 2007- will search my digital camera… keep sharing! Important …” — @Eelliott001, Gab

The Calvary cross stands out against a dramatic sunset in this one-of-a-kind landscape painting as the setting sun shines through the dark clouds.
An original Christian-themed landscape painting featuring the silhouette of the cross at Calvary against a vibrant sunset of reds, oranges, and yellows. The brightly setting sun gently peeks out from behind dark clouds. This painting, signed in the lower left side by Christian artist Teresa Bernard, is an excellent way to display your faith for others to see.
Calvary at Sunset is hand-painted on a traditional stretched canvas. Its sides are raw and unpainted. This painting will need to be framed before it is put on display. This is ideal for individuals who prefer the polished or conventional appearance of paintings in a frame. A Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is included with the purchase of this sunset wall art.
This Calvary sunset painting is a religious-themed landscape painting portraying the cross in silhouette against a colorful evening sky. One should not consider this painting as a literal representation of the crucifixion of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Instead, it depicts that moment in time just after the disciples took His lifeless body down from the cross.
The Holy Bible tells us about this momentous historical event throughout its pages. From Scripture, we learn that Jesus Christ endured the crucifixion from approximately 9 AM until 3 PM and that His dead body was removed from the cross just before sundown.
The four New Testament Gospels also describe a supernatural phenomenon that occurred at the moment of His death.
—Teresa Bernard
What we Learn from the Four Gospels
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.

Title: Full Moon Rising

Signed: On the front
COA: Signed Certificate of AuthenticitySeries: Part of the Life in Texas Series
A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting
The full Moon rises to illuminate the night sky in this oil painting. This is a stunning piece of art that is ideal for anyone who loves gazing at the night sky.
This is an original painting of the full moon rising to light up the night sky. The moon appears above a line of trees that are in silhouette in the foreground and a star-filled sky in the background. This beautiful piece of art will look great in the home or office of anyone who enjoys gazing at the night sky. This piece is hand-painted and signed by Texas artist Teresa Bernard in the lower left side.
Skillfully made by hand on a gallery wrap canvas, Full Moon Rising extends its composition around the sides of the canvas. When an artwork is painted on this kind of canvas, a frame is not necessary for exhibition; yet it will still look captivating if you decide to have it framed. This moon light art piece comes with a custom Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
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.
