Artist Comments
Artist Onelio Marrero paints the sunset's effects on a snow-covered trail near his home in northern New Jersey. He shows the scene based on an oil sketch and his memory. The rich colors and textures of this painting, rendered in sensitive yet bold strokes, reflect the waning light filtering through the trees. Onelio includes the figure of his wife and soulmate as she walks ahead through the quiet trail.
