The Falls at Boonton
About this artwork
Artist Onelio Marrero shares a view of the Rockaway River in Boonton, New Jersey, on a brilliant winter day. He features the first cascade, where the river narrows into a gorge along its meandering route through northern New Jersey. Onelio employs vigorous strokes and palette knife work to accentuate the character of the water as it tumbles down a series of rapids. The varied brushwork, glazes, and impasto effects combined with fascinating colors engage the viewer's senses.
