Bicycles
About this artwork
This painting captures the brilliant light of a sunny morning in Cape May, New Jersey. Artist Onelio Marrero draws inspiration from the outdoor dining canopies and the colorful bicycles parked in the foreground. He paints the varying stages of light as they gush through sweeping canvas tarpaulins and shadows cast on the pavement. Cape May has a very flat landscape that makes bicycles the most ubiquitous and popular form of travel and recreation, says Onelio. As one travels on the cape, there are colorful bicycles everywhere.
