Weekly Oil Paintings
by Sister Maresa Lilley, SND

Laughing Jesus

8 x 8″ oil paint on cradled artist board

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

Lush Simplicity

10 x 8″ oil paint on canvas board

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

*8 x 10″ oil on canvas panel

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

Christmas Cards

approx. 14 x 11 cm or 5.5 x 4.25 “

From my oil painting “Child of Light”, I had these Christmas cards printed. If interested, they are now for sale on my art shop, 20 cards and envelopes in a set for $22. If you click on the Art Shop button at the top of this blog page (or below), you will see it as the first item listed. The 10 x 8″ painting on canvas is also still available.

Pears a’Plenty

8 x 10″ oil paint on canvas panel

Rarely do I paint any scene twice, but this image from free photos on Pixabay still attracts me. Though slightly different from my earlier work, I had the same joy of of the casual rest of each pear and the bold stems and leaves.

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.
