Artist Comments
Artist Onelio Marrero paints a peaceful scene in the early morning just after sunrise. "I painted this piece shortly after heavy rains flooded the Rockaway River banks," shares Onelio. The rich texture and variety of shifting colors give vitality to the tranquil scene. The piece features a sensitive interpretation of the effects of light at daybreak on the subtle differences of greens throughout the spring foliage.
