The Catch

Artist Onelio Marrero lives just minutes from the New Jersey shore, where he and his wife enjoy long walks along the beach. In the quieter winter months, the shoreline often feels deserted, save for the ever-present surf fishermen. In this impressionist piece, Onelio captures the moment three fishermen cast their lines, one of them reeling in a small mako shark. The light and air shimmer across the scene, with reflections dancing in the runnels left by the receding tide.
