Weekly Oil Paintings
by Sister Maresa Lilley, SND

Riona Riverdance

10 x 8″ oil paint on canvas panel

Step dancing, anyone? Riona is ragdoll ready.

Light and Guide

10 x 8″ oil paint on canvas panel

I painted this angel from a photo of sculpture. I am drawn most often to the lines and planes that carved images present. Of course, I take a few of my own liberties like the ball of light. The statue had lost its arms over time.

Juncos

8 x 10″ oil paint on canvas panel

Visiting my window recently are these sweet white-bellied Juncos. He has a black coat and hers is a little charcoal gray. I read that they will build their nests anywhere from tall grasses to treetops.

To Such As These

8 x 10″ oil paint on canvas panel

But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these”. (Lk. 18:16)

All My Heart

8 x 10″ oil paint on canvas panel

Weather has been sub-zero lately, making me want to snuggle with a cushy little bear. Oh, and they always love you back.

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.
