Paola Zanda – Water – Ponds in Camargue

The approaching of our autumn holidays awakens me the vision of the ponds in Camargue. In the early hours of dawn, the colors are soft tending to gray and the rising sun sends pink reflections. The water is quiet, almost still. I found it appropriate to use the technique of painting in layers with acrylics colors, learned from Linda Colsh, and quilt entirely by machine to enhance the feeling of peace that infuses this landscape.
