Sunset Paintings, Why I Love Them

Capturing the Magic of a Sunset

Texas is renowned for its breathtaking sunsets. Growing up in Texas, I had many opportunities to observe numerous beautiful skies adorned with a wide array of shades of oranges, yellows, purples, and blues. It’s no surprise that sunset paintings have become a significant part of my art repertoire.

For The Love of Sunset Paintings

Sunsets are certainly a favorite type of painting for me because of the many bright colors. I like how I can incorporate the sky at dusk (or dawn) into so many different settings of landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes, and even skyscapes. And it’s not just me; many others cherish the beauty of sunset paintings too. Here’s why:

1. A Picturesque Depiction of Nature: Sunset paintings beautifully capture the evening sky and sun, showcasing their magnificent grandeur and splendor, just as God intended.

2. A Symphony of Colors: I love to paint the close of the day because it offers me the opportunity to include vibrant shades of yellows, oranges, blues, and purples, along with earth colors of dark browns and rich blacks, which work together to create warmth and charm within my art compositions.

3. Drama in the Sky: The beams of light that reflect off and pierce through the clouds generate a sense of excitement and drama unmatched by anything else. They capture the viewer’s gaze and pull them into the scene.

4. Romantic Evenings: Early evening is for romantics, and many artists, like me, have captured the romance of a setting sun in some of the most exotic places in the world.

5. Enhancing Ambiance: Sunset paintings can enhance the ambiance of virtually any space, be it your home, office, or business establishment.

Conclusion

Sunset paintings hold a special place in my heart and my art. They are not just depictions of the evening sky but a celebration of nature’s grandeur and the emotions it evokes. The vibrant colors, the dramatic light, and the serene ambiance all come together to create a visual symphony that resonates with viewers.

Thank you for joining me on this journey through the beauty of sunset paintings. I hope you find as much joy in viewing them as I do in creating them. Feel free to explore more of my work and share your thoughts. Until next time, keep cherishing the beauty around you.

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.

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

‘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.”

Artist Comments

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.

—Teresa Bernard

©️ teresabernardart.com is a copyright watermark, it is not on the original canvas painting.

Artist Comments

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: The Broadside of a Barn
Size: 12″ w x 9″ h
Canvas Type: Canvas Board
Frame: Unframed
Signed: On the front 
COA: Signed Certificate of Authenticity
A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting

A sunset painting of an old, weathered barn with a bright yellow moon overhead. This composition is full of intriguing contrasts.

This oil painting portrays a tightly cropped view of the broadside of an old rural barn, with its planks showing signs of aging and weathering. A bright yellow Harvest Moon shines overhead. Hand-painted and signed in the lower right-hand corner by oil painting artist Teresa Bernard.

The painting presents a close-up perspective of an old countryside barn’s side, with its planks showing signs of aging and weathering. Above it, a vivid yellow Harvest Moon casts its glow. It is hand-painted and bears the signature of oil painting artist Teresa Bernard in the bottom right corner.

The Broadside of a Barn is created by hand with an art brush on a high-quality canvas board and must be framed prior to display. An official Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is included with purchase of this painting.

Artist Comments

I’m a sucker for old country barns. They have a certain charm that appeals to me, especially when they’re old and weathered. And when the composition allows, I love to include them in my landscape paintings.

The Broadside of a Barn is a country landscape painting. To create an interesting effect, I painted this composition with a tight crop. The crop gives the impression that the painting is cut in half diagonally from corner to corner, creating two contrasting triangles. The upper triangle features organic shapes, whereas the lower triangle consists of geometric, manmade forms.

This painting appeals to me because of the many contrasts present within its composition. For example, near vs. far, organic vs. manufactured, curved vs. straight, round vs. square, dark vs. light, etc. Can you find other contrasts?
