Weekly Oil Paintings
by Sister Maresa Lilley, SND
Several year ago, I received the commission to paint this lovely bride from a black and white photo. She is a gem in time and hopefully had a rich life ahead of her.

Sister Maresa, If you were commissioned to paint this beautiful bride from a black and white photo, then I assume she is a woman still treasured by one of her descendants… What strikes me is the glint in her blue eye that is clearly visible. Thank you for sharing her with us! Sister Melannie
