A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting

An original landscape painting of Devils Tower, a monolithic rock formation in northeastern Wyoming, and America’s first National Monument.

This is a small-scale landscape painting depicting the iconic Devils Tower National Monument in Wyoming. The monument stands out against a vibrant blue sky, with lush green trees in the foreground.

Artist Comments

I painted the Devils Tower as an oil painting after returning home from a trip with my husband to South Dakota in 2016.  During this trip, we visited Devils Tower National Monument. The monument is a unique geological rock tower that rises above the grassy plains of northeast Wyoming. At the time, we were vacationing in Rapid City, South Dakota. Since the tower was within driving distance of our hotel, we could not pass up the opportunity to visit this “one-of-a-kind natural wonder.”

We could see Devils Tower from miles away as we made our approach to the national monument. Upon arriving at our destination, we drove through the 2.1 square mile park which surrounded the monument. We couldn’t help but notice the tower as it was the centerpiece of the park. It looked like a giant granite tree stump with a flat summit and fluted sides.

Devils Tower stands more than 867 feet from its base to the summit. It measures approximately 180 feet by 300 feet at the top and is about a mile in circumference at the base. There is a 1.25-mile hiking trail around the tower base that provided us with spectacular close-up views from all sides. There was another much wider 3-mile trail that also loops around the tower, but we didn’t take that one. We spent a better part of the day exploring and learning everything about the tower before heading back to the hotel. All-in-all it was a wonderful experience that I would recommend to anyone.

—Teresa Bernard

Why “Devils Tower” and Not “Devil’s Tower”?

In 1906, President Teddy Roosevelt declared Devils Tower America’s first official national monument. The monument was initially called “Devil’s Tower” (with an apostrophe), but due to a clerical error, the apostrophe was omitted and never corrected. To this day, it remains known as Devils Tower (without the apostrophe).

Artist Comments

I love lighthouses! While living on the east coast, I had the opportunity to visit several of them on the shores of the Outer Banks. I also enjoy painting them and have done so numerous times throughout my fine art career. Several of those paintings were of lighthouses I had visited while living nearby. There are, however, many others in this big world that I have yet to visit and hope to do so someday. One such lighthouse is the Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse. It is the subject of this painting.

—Teresa Bernard

More about Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse

Lighthouses have stood as iconic structures along coastlines for centuries, guiding ships safely through treacherous waters. Each lighthouse has its unique history, character, and architectural design and Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse is no exception.

On the sand dunes of Denmark’s North Sea coast sits a lonely watchtower known as Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse. Its beacon once stood watch, guiding ships and other watercraft through dangerous waters. Today, however, it is in danger of falling into the sea. Shifting sands and coastal erosion are major issues in the area. The coast is eroding at a rate of 4.9 feet per year.

The lighthouse ceased operating in 1968. Its buildings were then used as a museum and coffee shop for a number of years before being abandoned due to shifting sands. The small buildings were later demolished after being severely damaged by the sand pressure.

At the current rate of erosion, the tower would have fallen into the sea by 2023. However, in 2019, a preservation group set about relocating it, and the 75ft-tall, 720-ton lighthouse was moved 230 feet inland on specially built rails. The relocation is expected to ensure the lighthouse’s survival until at least 2060.

Artist Comments

The view of the full moon and Earth in this painting is from the International Space Station (ISS). I composed it using a NASA photo as a reference. An astronaut aboard the ISS captured the photograph while looking out a window at the moon. (See the link International Space Station | NASA to view the actual photo.) A View of The Full Moon and Earth painting makes it appear as if the Moon is in close orbit, hovering directly over the Earth, but this is not the case. The Moon is approximately 238,855 miles away, while the ISS orbits roughly 250 miles above the Earth.

Artist Comments

This faraway galaxy painting is one of several small space artworks I’ve done. As a huge fan of the space program, I’m often looking at images of distant star systems, nebulae, constellations, planets, and moons, and considering how I might compose a painting from them. Some of my space paintings are based on NASA photos, such as ‘First Man on the Moon,’ while others are entirely based on my imagination.

Artist Comments

Sometimes flowers can be tiny and yet still beautiful. God’s handiwork in nature continues to be an excellent source of inspiration from which to create my paintings. This dill flowers painting is a prime example. What attracts me to this composition is the feeling of abstractness one gets, but you quickly discover a close-up of some dill flowers when you look closer.

—Teresa Bernard

About Dill Flowers

  • Dill (Anethum graveolens) is an aromatic annual herb with delicate, feathery green leaves and tiny, white or yellow flowers that blossom during the mid-summer. For centuries dill was revered for its culinary and medicinal properties.
  • Dill is mentioned in three places in the Bible (Isaiah 28:25 & 27 and Matthew 23:23) and in ancient Egyptian writings. Once considered a sign of wealth, ancient Greek and Roman cultures used dill as currency. Today, dill is one of the most widely used spices in European and Asian cuisine.

A one-of-a-kind flower painting with white calla lilies against a blue background.

A smaller flower painting of two white calla lilies on a sky-blue background. Viewed from the side, their unique trumpet-like shape is accentuated. A yellow spadix stands at the heart of each bloom, surrounded by a generous green leaf.

The copyright watermark ©️ teresabernardart.com is not present on the physical canvas art.

Artist Comments

I struggled to come up with a title for this painting. Every artist in the world seems to call their calla lily paintings by the same name. So, I kept looking for title ideas and ended up at the website of Georgia O’Keeffe, an American artist whose artworks have influenced me.  She created several calla lily paintings, one of which she titled ‘Two Calla Lilies on Pink.’ Her title became an inspiration for mine: ‘White Calla Lilies on Blue.’

The calla lily has always been one of my favorite flowers. I just love its beauty. It gets its name from the Greek word for “beautiful.” The calla lily has a bloom that resembles a trumpet. Did you know the most popular color of calla lily is white? The white calla lily symbolizes purity and innocence. It is also associated with faithfulness and holiness, which is a reason why you often see them used at Easter services and weddings.

A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting

A still life painting with vintage sewing thread. The type of sewing thread your great-grandmother most likely used to sew her family’s clothes.

A unique still life oil painting featuring four vintage sewing thread on spools made of wood. Each spool contains sewing thread of a different color: red, orange, green, and blue. A sewing needle pierces a green spool, set against a neutral gray backdrop to complement its counterpart painting. This artwork is the second in a series and bears the signature of oil painter Teresa Bernard in the bottom left corner.

This small 6×6-inch work of art will fit anywhere there is a limited amount of wall space you want to embellish or spruce up. Great-Grandma’s Sewing Thread #2 is hand-painted on a small gallery-wrapped canvas. This type of canvas allows the artist to paint on the sides of the canvas giving it a polished look thereby eliminating the necessity of a frame. Nonetheless, framing is an option if desired. Regardless of your choice, it will be an attractive addition to your home, gallery, office, or any display space. A personalized Certificate of Authenticity (COA) accompanies the purchase of this still life painting.

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

Artist Comments

This painting is part The Wooden Spool Series. I call it ‘Great-Grandma’s Sewing Thread #2’ because we live in the modern era, and thread is no longer sold on wooden spools. Sewing thread spun on wooden spools was probably used by our great-grandmothers, but not so much nowadays. Sewing thread is now sold on plastic spools.

Manufacturers are no longer making these wooden thread spools, but that doesn’t mean they have no value. In some ways, they can still have some usefulness. One benefit of these vintage spools is their durability and the ability to repurpose them in a variety of ways long after the thread has run out.

I recall playing with empty wooden spools as a child. I strung them on a string and used them to make necklaces. When I played with my Barbie dolls, I also used them for doll furniture, among other things.

Vintage wooden spools are useful for a variety of arts and crafts projects. Using your imagination, you could transform them into beautiful artwork or something else that would give them new life. Use them yourself or for a project, your children could enjoy. Better yet, use them in a project that you and your children could enjoy doing together.
