Artist Comments

I appreciate simple, uncluttered compositions, and this still life painting exemplifies that preference. My deliberate choice of simplicity allows viewers to appreciate the beauty in everyday objects which in this case are black glass jars. The lack of distractions causes us to focus on the essence of the jars.

Artist Comments

The most eye-catching feature of this painting is that big orange moon in the night sky with a silhouetted egret. Looking at it, one can easily imagine what it would be like to “fly away” to Earth’s only satellite.

The night sky is one of my favorite things. I love looking up at it to see the vastness of outer space, the faraway planets, the milky way along with all the stars and constellations, and of course, Earth’s moon in whichever stage it happens to be in at the time. I especially love seeing our moon shining so brightly it makes the night look like it’s daytime!

—Teresa Bernard

Artist Comments

Prickly pear cactus are hardy plants, well-adapted to arid conditions and are famous for their flavorful fruits and showy flowers.

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.

—Teresa Bernard

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

Artist Comments

‘Up the Steps’ is a painting I composed from a reference photograph. This painting conveys a sense of movement as if you could walk right up those steps. And it was this aspect of the photograph that attracted me the most. I did, however, make changes to the composition to improve it.

I’m part of a social media group of artists and photographers who like to share photos of places, objects, animals, and people they’ve photographed. They allow their fellow members to paint from their reference photos. Read more about reference photos here: Reference Photos for Artists.

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

Artist Comments

If you’re a fan of astronomy like me, you love a good night sky display, and comets are among the greatest of showmen. They don’t disappoint. Comets are among the most spectacular celestial events, with their bright, luminous “coma” and long dust and ion tails. They can appear out of nowhere and be visible for months at a time as they travel along their paths (orbits) around the Sun, creating a breathtaking and ever-changing sight.

—Teresa Bernard

A Few Things About Comets

Comets are best known for their long, streaming tails and are typically named for their discoverers.
They are made of mostly ice, dust, and frozen forms of various gases and molecules. They form far away from the Sun where the ices don’t melt.
They orbit the Sun in a more elliptical, or oval-shaped, path. As their path moves them closer to the Sun, they warm and begin to release their gases. The closer a comet gets to the Sun, the longer and brighter its tail will grow.
Comets range in size from a few miles wide to the largest known size of about 85 miles wide.

Artist Comments

Autumn is my favorite time of year. The cooler, more colorful season of fall is always welcome after a long, hot summer. We have a small forest of hardwood trees in the meadow behind our house. Every fall, I love seeing them change to various shades of red, orange, and yellow. It’s such a treat!

—Teresa Bernard

A Favorite Poem

A Tree Design
by Arna Bontemps 1902 – 1973

A tree is more than a shadow
Blurred against the sky,
More than ink spilled on the fringe
Of white clouds floating by.
A tree is more than an April design
Or a blighted winter bough
Where love and music used to be.
A tree is something in me,
Very still and lonely now.

Artist Comments

Zebras possess a captivating charm thanks to their distinctive black-and-white striped coats. The pattern of each zebra is as unique as a human fingerprint.

I was commissioned a few years ago to create a series of five commission paintings for a gentleman who loves Africa. (You can find those in Past Work.) They included the landscape and wildlife of Africa. I really enjoyed doing them as it made me feel like I was actually there on some kind of safari. Every now and then, I’ll do another painting on Africa, and ‘Eye of The Zeba’ is one of them.

Details & Description

Title: Van Gogh's Church
Size: 20" w x 24" h
Canvas Type: Gallery Wrap Stretched Canvas
Frame: Unframed; Ready to Hang
Signed: On the front 
COA: Signed Certificate of Authenticity
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. The church gives this painting a somewhat gothic feel with its stone walls, large-scale windows, and the tall and imposing tower that rises into the sky. Hand-painted and signed in the bottom corner on the left side by fine artist Teresa Bernard.

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. Van Gogh’s Church won’t need to be framed unless you want it to be. It will look beautiful wherever you want to display it. Includes an official Certificate of Authenticity (COA).

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

Read more about the Life in Texas Series here.

Artist Comments

This oil painting is part of a series of paintings about what life is like in the great state of Texas. Round hay bales are one of the most iconic images of rural America. These farm-fresh bales represent the hard work and dedication required to provide for our country.

Cattle ranchers abound here in east Texas, and since cattle and other farm animals need food, we also have a lot of hay farmers. Everywhere you go, if you don’t see cattle or horses grazing in a large pasture, you’ll most likely see hay growing there, or you’ll see hay that has been harvested and baled.

Hay farmers harvest their hay using equipment called balers. Balers can bale (package) hay in various ways — small rectangle bales, large square or rectangular bales, or large round bales. The large round bales can weigh anywhere from 800 to over 1,500 pounds! When they are that heavy, they have to be moved around with hay forks attached to tractors.

Many cattlemen prefer the round bales instead of small rectangle bales as they are less labor-intensive to store and transfer and easier to feed to their cattle. They place these large round bales inside hay rings so their cattle and horses can graze on them for days. However, small farms and ranches may still use the smaller rectangle hay bales since they have fewer heads of cattle to feed.

—Teresa Bernard
