Weekly Oil Paintings
by Sister Maresa Lilley, SND

Lily of the Valley

6 x 8″ oil paint on canvas sheet

There are a few more touches required before finish, but here is an early reveal. Don’t you just love these little white bells?

Light of Travelers

8 x 8″ oil paint on cradled artist board

So many people on the move today…from point A to some possible unknown B. Jesus and Mary also did their share. No doubt Mary undertook a great deal of traveling trying to catch up with her adult Son for some precious contact with him as He moved among His people. As Sisters of Notre Dame, we invoke Mary to guide and protect us on our many travels. She is our Light on the way.

Teddycake

8 x 10″ oil paint on canvas panel

Mmmm Chocolate! With a smile on top.

Family Portrait

18 x 24″ oil paint on stretched canvas

After tedious careful detail in some of my work, I enjoy letting loose in the ridiculous. Again line and whimsy win the day, and maybe this is a fitting artistic statement for a child’s room.

Yellow Tulips

14 x 11″ oil paint on stretched canvas

Spring’s herald…a bit of tulip drama.

Meet Sr.Maresa

I am Sister Maresa Lilley, a member of the Sisters of Notre Dame, located in Chardon, Ohio, USA. For many years, I have enjoyed a passion that permits me to reflect upon simple reality with a brush in hand. To capture a simple essence on canvas and to discover inherent beauty is a daily immersion.
