Weekly Oil Paintings
by Sister Maresa Lilley, SND

For the Ages

14 x 11″ oil paint on stretched canvas

Enticed by a beautiful free photo on Pixabay, I decided to render it in paint. From an art point of view, I think line designs add so much interest.

Daisy Duck

8 x 10″ oil paint on canvas panel

The wet eye caught the light; it is actually bolder in the painting and watching you.

Hockey Kids

11 x 14″ oil paint on canvas panel; special commission

This is a work still in process; the bright reds will have to go in order to please a customer’s requests…all part of the painting adventures.

Veiltails

8 x 10″ oil paint on canvas panel

The rich reddish orange never gets captured digitally, but it is in the actual painting. My father kept a fish tank for us when we were small children. Perhaps that is behind the draw these golden creatures have on me.

Overview

16 x 20″ oil paint on canvas panel

The gull activity at the beach never disturbs me; I could watch it endlessly. These are coming in for snacks in the shallows no doubt. I still have to do some clean up and refinements on this work.
