Painting Description
Glowing like a celestial ember, an asteroid surges forward—its path lit by tension, scale, and solar fire.
Molten and fractured, the asteroid dominates the scene as it descends toward a distant, Earth-like planet. The backdrop reveals a sprawling starscape—pinpoints of light in varying sizes scattered across a velvety black sky. Cool tones dominate the planetary surface with hints of oceanic blue, swirling white cloud cover, and sunlit terrestrial beige. The asteroid’s jagged surface is scorched with deep ridges, pulsing in searing hues of orange and gold. Signed by the artist Teresa Bernard in the lower right corner, the signature ensures originality and authorship.
Crafted in oil on a sturdy canvas board, the painting measures 12 inches wide by 9 inches tall. The board is 1/8-inch thick and made from artist-grade materials designed for archival quality and long-term durability. Its sleek profile makes it ideal for custom framing, which will be needed for proper display. The artwork arrives unframed, giving you the freedom to choose a presentation style that best suits your space. The painting includes a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity embossed with Teresa’s personal seal to ensure provenance and authenticity.

Reflections from the Artist
Space has always intrigued me—not as a dreamscape, but as a place grounded in realism and vast possibility. That’s the energy I tap into when painting celestial scenes like Asteroid Collision Course.
I rely on science-based sources—such as NASA photography and authentic astrophotography—as reference points to ensure that what I create feels plausible, even at a dramatic scale. This observational approach helps me construct scenes that are informed by genuine cosmic phenomena, not imaginative reinterpretations.
This particular painting was driven by motion and impact. The asteroid isn’t meandering; it’s moving with purpose. That idea of speed and direction is something I carefully built into every detail—from placement and scale to lighting and trajectory.
—Teresa Bernard, oil painter
