Artist Comments

The painting Kokomo Beach was inspired by the Beach Boys, a popular American rock band, and their song of the same name. The song tells of a make-believe island getaway off the Florida Keys, a place where two lovers can escape to get away from it all. If you aren’t familiar with the song, or even if you are, click the link below to hear the Beach Boys sing about Kokomo.

Artist Comments

Artists are often inspired by 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

From my “Life in Texas Series.” This painting of a prickly pear cactus was a fun one to do. It brought back memories of my childhood. I grew up in west Texas where these flowering desert plants are commonplace. One doesn’t really give much thought to them unless you have a personal encounter with one. Ouch! Some varieties have really long thorns that can really hurt if you’re not careful.

Your Feedback

“Wow I thought it was a photo when scrolling past. Just grilled up a prickly pear last month – yum!” — @wedareto, TRUTH Social

“So pretty… I love prickly pears!!!” — @kamilasart, TRUTH Social

“Cacti very likely represent the thorns and thistles that man must reap after his fall. I believe they may also represent refreshment and survival in the most difficult of situations. Humans and animals often find refreshment and water within cacti. It isn’t ideal, but many have survived in the most dire of circumstances. God be with you all. May we fully experience the refreshment of God in this age and the age to come.” — @ArtMusic_only, Gab

Signed: On the front 
COA: Signed Certificate of Authenticity

A one-of-a-kind painting of a young blond-haired girl wearing a red dress, sitting beside a pond. She extends her hand into the water, interacting playfully with a group of koi fish. Positioned with her back facing the onlooker, she could be anyone’s child, allowing the identity to be determined by the viewer. Cattails are growing behind her, and lily pads dot the pond’s surface in the foreground. The painting is signed by artist Teresa Bernard.

Girl in The Red Dress is canvas art hand-painted on gallery wrap canvas; it does not require a frame before hanging on the wall. Because the composition extends over the sides of the canvas, this painting has a contemporary appearance. If you choose to frame it, it will look amazing. This wall art comes with an official Certificate of Authenticity (COA) upon purchase.

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

Artist Comments

The painting of a young girl in a red dress was enjoyable to create because I used a model who was somewhat familiar to me. She’s the granddaughter of a high school friend. My friend gave me permission to use a photo of her granddaughter as a reference for this artwork.

For the most part, the painting reflects the reference photo, but I introduced lily pads, koi fish, and cattails. These additions were made to enhance the composition’s appeal and to enrich the narrative depicted by the painting.

Artist Comments

This painting is of a vintage Ford V8, the same type of car that helped make “Bonnie and Clyde” famous in the early 1930s. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were notorious fugitives who traveled throughout the central states of North America with their gang during the Great Depression, robbing and murdering wherever they went. The couple’s crime spree ended in their car when they were ambushed by Texas lawmen at a roadblock and then shot to death when 100 armor-piercing bullets riddled the vehicle. Bonnie and Clyde were buried in separate cemeteries in Dallas, TX. Clyde’s gravestone reads, “Gone but not forgotten.”

Today the actual bullet-riddled death car driven by the infamous couple is on display at Whiskey Pete’s Resort and Casino in Primm, Nevada. There is no admission charge to see the exhibit. For more information about the actual car, Bonnie and Clyde met their demise in, visit Roads & Rides. See additional information at Roadside America.

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.

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 poem is in the public domain.
