Artist Comments
This painting is part of artist Onelio Marrero's latest series that explores the terrain and geology of the hilly northwest of New Jersey. Onelio took advantage of the diverse textures and colors he encountered at the scene on one of his painting hikes. He included his wife working at her easel. "I recaptured the chilly morning light and used rich impasto and palette knife work to capture the effect of the winter trees and fallen leaves."

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.
