I never know if I know but people and nature create such strong desires in me that I want to seize them fast Because my eyes will never see the same thing. I often want to look toward tomorrow or think of yesterday when I?m suddenly Than the sketch that present moment Has the work begun? Will it go no further than the sketch that seduced me? AM I not a painter for something other than painting? I imagine the place, the time, the space, the light I bustle about and the unpredictable nature of the canvas intimidates me. Action changes everything. Look, act, create and the imaginable, even substantial, opens the doors of happiness. A momentary adventure?in this vista I see myself, I hear myself, I surprise myself like the traveler or child Who simply discovers. I put up a good show in bad times The days pass the sun magnifies the light in the countryside Everything is lovely The colors blend fear has gone I paint. Jean Duquoc
