Artist Comments
In this sunny impressionist scene, artist Onelio Marrero captures his neighbor, Mark, who is a master in the art of Bonsai. "When spring begins, he goes about placing his potted plants on their display stands after having survived the winter months," says Onelio. "In this painting, Mark goes about his work of examining, pruning, and displaying his treasured trees in the early morning sunlight."

About the Artist
Onelio Marrero paints city scenes of everyday life. In an impressionistic style he captures the romanticism of New York City, the picturesque fountains in Central Park and the wet city streets after a rainy afternoon. His use of warm tones creates a sense of nostalgia and the feeling that you have visited or seen this particular scene before. Onelio will often paint from direct observation, or he will work from a combination of photographs and combine numerous sources into one piece. In this way his work combines reality with fantasy, creating a new story with each painting. His work captures an appreciation for beauty in all of its greatest forms; nature, art, and people.
