Weekly Oil Paintings
by Sister Maresa Lilley, SND

Holy Mary #3

I have painted numerous versions of the Mother of Jesus and have used almost all titles I can think of! So, I already named two others “Holy Mary”, and for lack of any more brain cells, this painting is #3 of the same name.

Lines of Text

What pulled me in the direction of this image were the line designs all pointing to the girl reading a book. Maybe it’s also a bit of nostalgia for paper over screens.

Apple Blossoms

While the striped vase is mine, the blossoms are inspired by a free photo on unsplash.com by Marivi Provost. To me, the whole is a happy sum of its parts.

Lunch Bunch

There is such a demand for these fluffy lambs which I often find grazing in my paint.

You Light My Way

These whimsical Shepherd and sheep paintings are popular these days.

Zebra

Such wondrous creatures, don’t you think? And like fingerprints, no line patterns are ever the same.
