Acequia Gorda Painting

This oil painting is based on a direct pictorial treatment "alla prima" and thick line. The focus is the harmony of color and the depth of the environment. The way to paint directly without using drawing is striking. The painting has been done en plein air during several sessions in the morning. Since the establishment of the Nasrid in the capital of Granada, in the 11th century, various ditches were created and recovered, in order to provide the city with a water supply system, which would be completed later. One of these ditches was the Acequia Gorda or Acequia Mayor. This canal is a watercourse derived from the Genil river and runs parallel to it. The Arabs took advantage of the constructions of other already existing ditches from Roman times. Probably the original function of this canal was to provide water to the lands on the right bank of the Genil River, having an essentially agricultural function.
