Under the Table and Dreaming
About this artwork
Artist Onelio Marrero features two of his granddaughters in this heartwarming painting. When the family gets together at my house, my two oldest granddaughters love to spend time together playing make-believe under the improvised forts I help them assemble, says Onelio. The two girls spend much time daydreaming or pretending to nap. They always have Onelio bring a timer visible on the lower right, so they can set it to wake them up. This piece intimately captures the innocence and limitless imagination of children at play.
