Artist Onelio Marrero depicts two carefree children playing in the surf. Part of a series of summer paintings that explores the joyful spirit of youth. His execution gives evidence of the influence of Sorolla's lighthearted work. "The movement and reflections on the water are captured in brilliant light and energetic brushwork that maintains the spontaneity of the subject," says Onelio.
