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.

Artist Comments

This monarch butterfly painting is one of several compact-size paintings I’ve composed. I decided to do some smaller paintings to attract a broader range of buyers and collectors for my art pieces. So I purchased a supply of 6×6 inch stretched canvases and started composing paintings on them. I work on these small canvases alongside the larger paintings when I paint, working on both sized artworks during the same painting session.  I had no idea how much I would enjoy creating these smaller paintings until I started doing them.

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.

Artist Comments

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.

Artist Comments

I love flowers! I enjoy painting them too, especially closeup and bathed in the warm sunlight. I’m always on the lookout for a beautiful flower to paint, and the King Protea flower is certainly one that inspires me. Its large, beautiful blossom made it a perfect subject for this flower painting.

—Teresa Bernard

About The King Protea Flower

  • The King Protea (pronounced “prō – dē – a”) became the national flower of South Africa in 1976. This plant, named after Proteus, a Greek god who could change his form at will, is one of the oldest flowering plants on earth, dating back 300 million years. Many varieties of protea can be found in South Africa, Australia, Asia, and parts of South America.
  • King Proteas, whose blossom resembles an artichoke, is the largest member of the Protea family. They can grow as large as 3-4 feet tall with flowers 8-10 inches in diameter. The blossom has a substantial white fuzzy center with pointy pink or white petals surrounding the center, along with leathery green petals that cradle the large, heavy blossom and a thick stem that supports it. King Proteas typically bloom during the winter and spring (June to October).

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.

Title: Bow of the Boat
Size: 18″ w x 18″ h
Canvas Type: Gallery Wrap Stretched Canvas
Frame: Unframed; Ready to Hang
Signed: On the front 
COA: Signed Certificate of Authenticity

A wooden boat painting in a cropped composition of the boat’s bow. This large painting is simple and minimalist in design.

The painting depicts a nautical scene featuring a wooden boat, presented in such a way that the viewer is only privy to the vessel’s bow and the surrounding water. It showcases a dramatic interplay of light and shadow, alongside a juxtaposition of warm and cool tones. The sun’s warmth is palpable as it illuminates the boat’s bow, creating a stark shadow on the cool water beneath. Hand-painted and signed by marine artist Teresa Bernard in the lower left side.

Bow of The Boat is a unique oil painting that can be displayed without the need of a frame. It is meticulously hand-painted on artist-grade gallery wrap stretched canvas which allows the composition to extend around the sides of the canvas. However, if you prefer to have it framed, it will look spectacular! A custom Certificate of Authenticity (COA) accompanies the piece.

The copyright watermark ©️ teresabernardart.com is not on the actual canvas artwork.

Artist Comments

In a world dominated by modern materials, a traditional wooden boat stands as a testament to craftsmanship and timelessness.

Artists often draw inspiration from their peers, admiring and emulating their work. The inspiration for Bow of the Boat came from an art teacher years ago. He enjoyed doing paintings of boats. In several of his works, he would focus on a particular section of the boat by cropping the rest, a technique I have adopted in this piece.

A small still life painting of a fine china teacup and saucer, similar to those used by grandmothers and great-grandmothers.

A small still life painting of a fine china teacup and saucer, the kind that grandma or great grandma might have used to sip their tea or coffee.

This delicate and colorful teacup painting would be ideal for adding a touch of class to a small kitchen, dining area, or living room. The painting bears the signature of the artist Teresa Bernard in the lower left corner.

This unique, small-scale painting is perfect for compact spaces or rooms with limited area. Measuring 6×6 inches, it was meticulously hand-painted on a gallery-wrapped stretched canvas.

A personalized Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is included.

The actual canvas art does not have the copyright watermark ©️ teresabernardart.com.

Artist Comments

I named this painting ‘Great-Grandma’s Fine China Teacup’ because, in this day and age of Starbucks, paper cups, and travel mugs, the art of drinking coffee or hot tea from fine china is quickly becoming a thing of the past for a great many Americans. Well, at least that is my perspective.

Here is a case in point. I read once about a young bride-to-be preparing for her upcoming wedding and how her mother coerced her into adding a set of fine china to her bridal registry. The young woman felt it would be ludicrous to do so as the china set would never get used except for holidays and perhaps rarely even then.

For many Americans, I suppose there is no longer a need for the loving memories that come from pulling out the fine china and using it for special occasions as our great-grandmothers did; or is there? And I guess it’s been forgotten that hot beverages taste much better when served in a fine china cup. Not to mention that teacups are pretty and dainty, which helps to make a special occasion that much more special.

So, what are you waiting for? Bring out your great-grandma’s (or grandma’s) fine china and put it to use today. You’re not getting any younger.

Artist Comments

This painting’s composition is a close-up of the side of a garden cottage. I thought it would be interesting to crop out as much of the original scenery as possible so that the focus would be solely on a few elements—the window, siding, picket fence, and some flowers. This turned out really well. I’ve used this method before. Below are the other paintings in which I used a tight crop to achieve the desired effect.

Artist Comments

This insect painting is the second art piece in the Ladybug Series. I named it ‘Almost Perfect Camouflage’ because the red color of the ladybug blends in so well with the flower it sits on. A natural predator would have to look very close to see it.

Where did they get their name? Are all ladybugs female? What do you call a ladybug that is a male? How can you tell them apart? All great questions!

The term “ladybug” is the common name for Coccinellidae, a Latin word that means scarlet. In America, this insect is referred to as “ladybug,” while in Europe, it is known as “lady beetle” or “ladybird beetle.” Whether you call them ladybug, ladybird, or lady beetle, the name has its origins in an old legend from Europe during the Middle Ages.

—Teresa Bernard

The Legend of the Ladybug

Legend has it that pests were destroying the Europeans’ crops, so Catholic farmers began praying to the Blessed Lady (the Virgin Mary) for help. Soon afterward, they noticed tiny black and red beetles in their fields eating the unwanted pests. The crops remained remarkably unharmed by the infestation. The farmers attributed their good fortune to the tiny insects called “the beetles of our Lady.” The red color of the beetle represents Mary’s cloak, and the black spots her sorrows. Over time, these beetles were affectionately termed ladybugs.

Ladybugs come in both male and female varieties, and both sexes are called the same thing…”ladybugs.” It is hard to distinguish male from female ladybugs with the naked eye, although females are larger than males. And that is hard to determine unless they are next to each other.

This insect art is an original oil painting of a red ladybug. The painting is a bright and happy scene that beautifully captures the wonder of nature.

A close-up oil painting of a ladybug. The red insect is hanging on tight to a leafy branch. The composition is bright, colorful, and cheerful.

This small-scaled painting will fit in any constrained location where you wish to add some flair to the walls. Ladybug #1 – Hanging on Tight has been painstakingly hand-painted on a smaller gallery-wrapped stretched canvas.

But you also have the option of having it framed if you’d like. In any case, it will look lovely displayed in your place of residence, workspace, gallery, or just about anyplace else.

Artist Comments

This painting is the first of two in the Ladybug Series. I actually worked on both paintings simultaneously, i.e., Ladybug #1 and Ladybug #2. I painted the ladybug series on six-inch-by-six-inch canvases. For such a small creature, I felt 6×6 was a perfect size. I love ladybugs and had been wanting to paint one (or more) for quite some time.

I came across a good deal on some small canvases, and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to buy 24 of them. When my shipment of 6×6 canvases arrived, I thought this was the perfect time to paint the ladybugs. Before these two particular paintings, it had been quite some time since I last painted on such a small canvas. It was a lot of fun, and it didn’t take any time at all to finish it.

—Teresa Bernard

Now About the Ladybugs!

Ladybugs, sometimes called ladybeetles or ladybird beetles, are wondrous little creatures! They most commonly come in red, yellow, and orange colors, which fade as the beetle gets older. Some species have black spots while others have black stripes and still others are a solid color with no markings. Their bright colors serve to warn birds they don’t taste good.

Surprisingly there are over 6,000 different species of this particular insect. They are beneficial insects because ladybugs eat other insects like aphids that often damage crops and garden plants.

The life cycle of a ladybug consists of four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Female ladybugs may lay as many as 1,000 eggs from spring to early summer, depending on the species. It usually takes four days for their eggs to hatch.
