Weekly Oil Paintings

This regal creature caught my attention in the free photos on Pixabay. The photo was tagged with Georg_Wietschorke. Though his photo had a few more birds in the background, I like to simplify for what I think has greater punch. Gannet comes from the old English word for gander which was ganot. These golden head beauties make their homes in the coastal regions of the North Atlantic. See earlier stages of the painting process below.

I was thinking of these last two paintings as a set.
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.
