Travel Paintings — From Here to Everywhere

Exploring the World, One Painting at a Time

If you’re a travel enthusiast like me, you relish the chance to explore new destinations and immerse yourself in different cultures. The world is full of places I’m eager to discover, but sometimes my budget doesn’t always allow for it. That’s where travel paintings (paintings of far-away-places) work their magic!

Travel paintings have a magical way of transporting us to distant lands, even when our feet remain firmly planted at home. These works of art capture the essence of far-off places, giving us a taste of the world’s beauty and cultural diversity from the comfort of our couches. The vibrant colors, intricate details, and unique perspectives in travel paintings stir up our desire to roam and seek adventure, fueling our imagination and inspiring us to dream about future explorations. Through the eyes of the artist, we can explore new horizons, encounter diverse traditions, and appreciate the wonders of the world, all from our own cozy nook.

Below are some travel paintings that will take you from here to everywhere you might want to go.

Artist Comments

The exploration of space has always captured the human imagination, inspiring writers, artists, and scientists alike. From the launch of Apollo 11 to the study of distant stellar nurseries, our fascination with space continues to drive scientific progress and artistic expression.

‘Spacewalker’ is an original oil painting of an astronaut. This artwork depicts an adventure of a lifetime as one of America’s heroes leaves the confines of the shuttle and takes a spacewalk in Earth’s orbit.

—Teresa Bernard

More About the Spacewalkers

A “spacewalker” is an astronaut who maneuvers outside the spacecraft in outer space. They may be tethered to the craft or propelled in the vacuum of space using a jet pack. To date, America has flown 129 astronaut spacewalkers into outer space. For a list of all spacewalkers see the link below.

A Teresa Bernard Oil Painting

This large oil painting is a realistic version of Vincent van Gogh’s church which he made famous while living in Auvers, France.

An original landscape painting of van Gogh’s church. This painting depicts the village church in Auvers, France made famous by Dutch post-impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh.

This painting can add style to any wall or space in your home or workspace. It is painted by hand on gallery-wrapped stretched canvas permitting the artist to continue the composition to the sides of the painting.

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

Artist Comments

While Vincent van Gogh was living in France, he painted his famous Auvers Church painting in his own post-impressionist style. I thought it would be fun to paint the same church only in my own realistic style.

The Gothic church depicted in this painting was initially painted and made famous by Vincent van Gogh in June 1890. Van Gogh’s church is located in the small village of Auvers, France, where he lived before his death. I wanted to do my own rendition of this lovely church, and the results of that desire are what you see here. Even though our painting styles are vastly different, Van Gogh is one of my favorite Old Masters. From his famous sunflowers painting to that lovely church in the village where he lived, I love much of Van Gogh’s work.

—Teresa Bernard

COA: Signed Certificate of Authenticity
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. Teresa Bernard, a landscape artist who specializes in oil paintings, has hand signed this art piece in the lower left corner.

Devils Tower is an artwork that requires no framing prior to display. Hand-painted on a gallery wrap stretched canvas, this type of canvas allows the composition to wrap around the canvas’s edges. If you wish to have it framed, it will look fantastic! A customized Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is included with the purchase of this artwork featuring the national monument.

The copyright watermark ©️ teresabernardart.com is not depicted on the original canvas painting.

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.

About the U.S. Space Shuttle

The Space Shuttle is a retired spacecraft system operated by NASA from 1981 to 2011 as part of the United States Space Shuttle program. It was intended to be a partially reusable spacecraft that would be launched like a rocket and landed on a runway like a glider. The space shuttle launched astronauts and cargo into space and returned them safely.

The United States Space Program has constructed six space shuttles since it began. The initial shuttle, Enterprise, served as a prototype and was transported on its inaugural journey by a Boeing 747, although it never reached space. The remaining shuttles, Challenger, Columbia, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour, all completed space missions.

Artist Comments

The Sea of Galilee is a large freshwater lake located in northeast Israel, between the Golan Heights and the Galilee region. The Jordan River is its primary source of water. The lake is approximately 13 miles long and 8 miles wide.

My love of God’s word and Bible readings about Jesus inspired this painting of the famous Sea of Galilee. Israel is very important to me because it is home to God’s chosen people. I’ve never been to Israel, but it’s somewhere I’d like to visit someday. This painting was composed using a reference photo from the “Pictorial Library of Bible Lands.” The photographer, Todd Bolen, graciously permitted me to use his photographs for any of my Bible land paintings.

According to Matthew 4:13-22, this historic biblical location is where Jesus began His ministry and called His first disciples. This passage tells us Jesus left Nazareth and went to Capernaum. While walking along the Sea of Galilee, He called the first four of His disciples Simon (also called Peter), Andrew, James, and John.

Your Feedback

“I love it and looked at the site. The “Sea of Galilee at Capernaum” put me in mind of something by Turner or some of the Hudson River schools. Wonderful stuff.” — josisenberg, SciFi & Fantasy Writers, Gab

“I really like your paintings–the portrait of your husband is very unusual in composition and the backlighting–wish I could see it in real life. Another [painting] that really caught my eye especially is the Sea of Galilee at Capernaum–the light in the sky is particularly indicative of something spiritual, even if one didn’t know a thing about the religious significance of the place.” — Elena M., Columbia, MD

A desert landscape painting of Utah’s Monument Valley National Park. The valley is a sacred area that is part of the Navajo Nation Reservation.

The artwork will need to be mounted in a frame before being put on display. For those who love the finished or traditional look of a frame, this works well. Includes a custom Certificate of Authenticity (COA).

Artist Comments

Monument Valley in Utah, often referred to as the “Valley of the Rocks,” is recognized as one of the natural wonders of the world and is arguably the most iconic representation of the American Old West. The valley has been a preferred setting for Western films for many years. Its isolated red mesas, dramatic spires, and sandstone buttes, set against a backdrop of a vast, sandy desert, have been captured on film and in photographs numerous times throughout history.

Called Tsé Bii’ Ndzisgaii (Valley of the Rocks) by the Navajo, this famous valley lies in the southern part of Utah near the Arizona border within the Navajo Nation Reservation. When you first approach the area, these rock “monuments” will take your breath away. The eerie rock formations make you feel like you’ve been transported to another planet. It is truly one of the most majestic places on earth.

The first time I visited Monument Valley National Park, I knew right away I’d be doing a painting of this beautiful valley. Indeed, I have created multiple paintings of this location. I also have memories of several paintings I did of this place when I was a young student of art studying art under my dad, a professional oil painting artist. My dad loved painting this location too and produced several oil paintings of it himself. The whereabouts of these paintings remain uncertain after they were sold to art collectors and local businesses in the small town where we lived.

Artist Comments

One summer, my husband, Robert, and I loaded up the kids and headed off for an adventure on the Outer Banks to discover the lighthouses we’d heard so much about. We were living in Virginia at the time, while Robert was serving in the military and was only two hours away from the OBX (Outer Banks). Currituck Lighthouse was our first stop and the favorite of all the lighthouses we visited that fun-filled weekend. We were excited to discover that visitors can climb its 220 steps to the top and look at the spectacular view. We’ve been back to this lighthouse several times since that first trip, and we always enjoy seeing it again. This painting of the Currituck Beach Lighthouse depicts the fun time we had on that trip.

—Teresa Bernard

More About the Lighthouse

Currituck Beach Lighthouse is located at Whale Head Bay in Corolla, NC on the northern end of the “Outer Banks.” Its distinct unpainted natural red brick appearance contrasts with fellow lighthouses along the North Carolina coast, which are painted in striking black and white. The lighthouse was constructed in 1875 and is still being used today to light the dark stretches of the southern Atlantic coastline. Annually the lighthouse welcomes an average of 185,000 visitors.

Artist Comments

This camelthorn trees painting was a fun one to do. At first, it appears to be a bit surreal; not the art genre that I do. I’m a realist painter, which means I try to paint things as they appear. The artwork is a landscape painting created from a photograph of Namib-Naukluft National Park in Africa. It depicts camelthorn trees with a dune rising in the background. The dune is bathed in orange by the effects of a rising sun. The trees are in shadow from another nearby dune. Some believe these trees have been dead for hundreds of years and that their failure to decompose is because the desert is so arid.
