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.

Painting Description

A tightly cropped composition of a tractor tire is depicted in this painting. This unique artwork is ideal for anyone who enjoys life on the farm.

A tightly cropped view of a weathered tractor tire takes the spotlight, drawing attention to its worn tread and rustic texture. The rim bears the patina of rust, adding to the authentic feel of a tool shaped by time. In the background, a wooden plank floor offers contrast and depth, while the edge of a second tire quietly enters the frame. It’s an earthy, intimate portrayal that resonates with those who appreciate rural life or country-inspired décor.

This original artwork is hand-painted in oils on gallery-wrapped canvas. The composition extends around the edges, offering a modern, frameless presentation.

Artist Comments

Composing this tractor tire painting was a little bit of an experiment for me. I like to give myself challenges now and then. With this one, I set out to see if I could paint rubber and make it look like rubber. I believe I achieved that goal.

What I like best about this painting are the various textures present in the composition — the wood, the rubber, and even the rusted metal rim. It was an enjoyable challenge painting all those textures and getting them just right. In addition, there are warm colors that contrast against the cool ones. There are so many interesting things going on in this painting; it was a lot of fun to paint!

A tractor tire isn’t something most people imagine as the subject of a painting, yet here it is—center stage and full of personality. I can picture it hanging in a man cave, an office, or anywhere someone loves tractors, cars, or just the gritty charm of rural life.

Artist Comments

I love trees! They are beneficial to our environment and well-being. Not to mention they have such a calming effect and are so beautiful. So I thought I would share a favorite poem about trees. The title of this painting was inspired by a poem.

—Teresa Bernard

A Favorite Poem About Trees

Song of the Trees

by Mary Colborne-Veel

We are the Trees.
Our dark and leafy glade
Bands the bright earth with softer mysteries.
Beneath us changed and tamed the seasons run:
In burning zones, we build against the sun
Long centuries of shade.

We are the Trees,
Who grow for man’s desire,
Heat in our faithful hearts, and fruits that please.
Dwelling beneath our tents, he lightly gains
The few sufficiencies his life attains—
Shelter, and food, and fire.

We are the Trees
That by great waters stand,
By rills that murmur to our murmuring bees.
And where, in tracts all desolate and waste,
The palm-foot stays, man follows on, to taste
Springs in the desert sand.

We are the Trees
Who travel where he goes
Over the vast, inhuman, wandering seas.
His tutors we, in that adventure brave—
He launched with us upon the untried wave,
And now its mastery knows.

We are the Trees
Who bear him company
In life and death. His happy sylvan ease
He wins through us; through us, his cities spread
That like a forest guard his unfenced head
’Gainst storm and bitter sky.

We are the Trees.
On us the dying rest
Their strange, sad eyes, in farewell messages.
And we, his comrades still, since earth began,
Wave mournful boughs above the grave of man,
And coffin his cold breast.

This poem is in the public domain.

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

Sometimes I like to give myself a challenge when choosing a subject matter for my paintings. I found these fishing boat fenders tied to the pillar of a fishing pier very interesting because of all the different textures (wood pier, rusty chains, and rubbery boat fenders) present. I thought they would make an interesting challenge trying to paint all that texture. One does get a sense of texture from the detail in this artwork.

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 painting is of a large white dog, possibly a Great Pyrenees. The Great Pyrenees has become one of my favorite dog breeds ever since Lobo, our Pyrenees mix, showed up at our door one day and decided to stay. Living out in the country as we do, means we get many strays who wander up to our door looking for a place to call home. We don’t know where they come from, but we never turn them away. We try to reunite them with their owner, if possible. If not, then we find them a new home or wind up adopting them ourselves. This artwork isn’t specifically of Lobo, but the dog portrayed in it sure does remind me of him.

—Teresa Bernard

A Few Fun Facts About Great Pyrenees

The Great Pyrenees makes excellent family pets with their calm, devoted, and well-mannered disposition. They are very loyal to those they love and protect the family with their lives if need be. In addition, they make excellent guard dogs, especially around livestock.

The Great Pyrenees is a dog breed of great intellect having a mind of their own; loving to figure things out by themselves and are good at problem-solving. While this is a wonderful trait, it can create a bit of a challenge when it comes to training.

Artist Comments

Sometimes, the quietest compositions speak the loudest. Hilltops is one of those paintings where less truly becomes more. I was drawn to the idea of creating a landscape that felt open and unburdened — a place where the eye can rest and the mind can wander. There’s something deeply calming about a scene that isn’t crowded with detail, where the land rolls gently and the sky stretches wide.

I enjoy painting these minimalist pieces from time to time because they offer a different kind of storytelling. They don’t tell you everything — instead, they invite you to imagine what lies just beyond the next ridge. Is it a grove of trees? A quiet herd of cattle? Maybe a deer slipping through the brush or a flock of sheep grazing in the distance? That mystery is part of the charm.

My hope is that this painting gives viewers a moment of stillness — and maybe even a little spark of wonder.

—Teresa Bernard, oil painter

Painting Description

With trumpet-shaped grace and a message of purity, the lilies stand composed and timeless.

Two sculpted calla lilies rise with serene elegance against a soft sky-blue background, their white petals unfolding in graceful curves like porcelain trumpets. Each bloom reveals a golden yellow spadix that glows warmly within its floral embrace, while a single verdant leaf adds depth and balance to the scene. Captured in profile, the composition invites reflection and calm, celebrating the purity of nature in a quiet, contemporary style.

White Calla Lilies on Blue is part of Teresa Bernard’s Garden Plants Series—a collection that honors the delicate symbolism and beauty of flowering plants. Measuring 6 inches wide by 8 inches high, with a depth of 1.5 inches, this representational oil painting is rendered on gallery-wrapped canvas, with the image extending around the edges for a seamless presentation. It arrives unframed, allowing collectors to tailor its display to their own space.

It’s more than just a depiction of lilies—it’s an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and connect with nature’s serene spirit.

Artist Comments

I struggled to come up with a title for this painting. Every artist in the world seems to call their calla lily paintings by the same name. So, I kept looking for title ideas and ended up at the website of Georgia O’Keeffe, an American artist whose artworks have influenced me. She created several calla lily paintings, one of which she titled ‘Two Calla Lilies on Pink.’ Her title became an inspiration for mine: ‘White Calla Lilies on Blue.’

The calla lily has always been one of my favorite flowers. I just love its beauty. It gets its name from the Greek word for “beautiful.” The calla lily has a bloom that resembles a trumpet. Did you know the most popular color of calla lily is white? The white calla lily symbolizes purity and innocence. It is also associated with faithfulness and holiness, which is a reason why you often see them used at Easter services and weddings.
