Weekly Oil Paintings
by Sister Maresa Lilley, SND

Willow Pear Blossoms

Maresa Lilley, SND June 18, 2024

I never liked polka dots as a personal choice in attire, but when nature scatters them around, I cannot resist.

Wash Day

Maresa Lilley, SND June 11, 2024

Something for a child’s room, new baby, or simply for a smile.

In the actual painting, the yellows are more soft and subtle and the pinks are warmer than my camera can capture, even after much digital finessing. I liked the looseness of the flowers and worked for looseness with the paint.

Who Me?

Maresa Lilley, SND May 28, 2024

Yes, little Bluebird of Happiness, you!

Verdant Pastures

Maresa Lilley, SND May 21, 2024

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. In verdant pastures He gives me repose. (Ps. 23:1)

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.
