Artist Comments
Artist Onelio Marrero painted this scene after visiting Manhattan's Central Park on a spring morning. The sunlight creates contrasts in the dappled shadows on the pavement surrounding the popular conservatory pond. Through impressionist strokes, Onelio captures the brilliance of the light and the colors of the landscape, while the strong diagonals add a sense of movement.
