Weekly Oil Paintings
by Sister Maresa Lilley, SND

Our Intercessor

10 x 10″ oil paint on stretched canvas

Restful Waters

8 x 10″ oil paint on canvas panel

In the original Hebrew, “still waters” (Hebrew mayim she’elim) refers to calm, life-giving streams, in contrast to turbulent rivers. In ancient Israel, still waters were rare and precious, and sheep could safely approach them www.pinnaclemessage.com.

Ps. 23:2-3

Feed My Sheep

8 x 10″ oil paint on canvas panel

John 21: 15-25

Mary, Mother of Sorrows

10 x 8″ oil paint on canvas panel

This was a special request from a customer to paint the Sorrowful Mother from a small public domain image. Traditionally, the Church contemplates Seven Sorrows that would, according to the prophet Simeon, pierce her heart. Luke 2:35

1 – The prophecy of Simeon

2 – The flight into Egypt

3 – The losing of the Holy Child at Jerusalem

4 – The meeting with Jesus on His way to Calvary

5 – Standing at the foot of the Cross

6 – Our Lord being taken from the Cross

7 – The burial of Christ

Notecards

Blank notecards approximately 4 x 5.5 inches

From time to time, I make a few paintings into notecards and Christmas cards. These are for sale on www.etsy.com/shop/Paintgrace, or, if interested, you can contact me at [email protected].
