Rough Terrain Cool Water
About this artwork
Part of artist Onelio Marrero's latest series exploring the terrain and geology of the diverse northwest of New Jersey. This painting was executed from several plein air oil studies, shares Onelio. He takes advantage of the rich textures and colors he encounters during his painting hikes. Using rich impasto and a skillful palette knife, Onelio works to capture the effect of the boulders diminishing in size as the stream meanders into the upper reaches of the space.
