Weekly Oil Paintings
by Sister Maresa Lilley, SND
St. Francis, often a statue feature of many gardens, is remembered for his joy in all creatures of earth. To him, they were all his brothers and sisters. I used a painting knife to drag on the last layers of paint for a rough, stoney look.

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.

I love this one, Maresa! Especially the contrast of the Rough Stoney look with soft, delicate curves of the little bird!
Thank you, Sister Melannie. A painting knife has a mind of its own, and I never know what it will give me.
Charming Francis portrait!
Thank you, Sister Emilia, may he bless us.
