Weekly Oil Paintings
by Sister Maresa Lilley, SND

Dome of Notre Dame

Maresa Lilley, SND October 2, 2024

For one who loves the campus at Notre Dame, Indiana, this was a special commission a few years back. The famous golden dome with Mary, Mother of Jesus atop draws people from all over the USA and beyond..perhaps mostly for the football games.

Dwelling Place of God

Maresa Lilley, SND September 26, 2024

8 x 8″ oil paint on cradled artist board

This is an older painting that was sold a few years ago, but I do not think I ever put it on this blog.

Laughing Jesus

Maresa Lilley, SND September 17, 2024

There are plenty of incongruities in the human condition that could make God laugh.

Lush Simplicity

Maresa Lilley, SND September 11, 2024

Sometimes simple has a lot to say. This piece was a demo on how to let the toned board show through top layers of paint. It is a style and a technique of many impressionist painters.

Upon Our Waters

Maresa Lilley, SND September 4, 2024

A bit whimsical of Jesus who walked upon our waters, perhaps this is a smile and a lift in stormy times.

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.
