Pas content donc, jusqu'à cette fin d'après-midi sur la crique ▼, en écoutant du Brian Eno. Comme si enfin j'avais touché, là, quelque chose – et le premier qui dit "le fond", il sort…

I'm gonna tell you a kitchen secret: since I returned en plein air to paint and draw, I feel frustrated. Frustrated of being eaten by landscape before me without being able to actually do something with it; you know, this sudden excitement you feel suddenly when you finally catch what you are running after, pencils and brushes in hand. Surely the lack of know-how to dominate things, probably too much improvisation and smears on the paper, and perhaps not a really acute eye... Until this afternoon on the creek ▼, listening to Brian Eno. At last, as if I had hit something there – who has said "rock bottom"?
Et pourtant, la séance commençait bien mal avec cette immonde bouillie à la gouache…
Yet, it began badly with this vile gouache mush...
… heureusement suivie de cette reprise en main, un peu comme un passage vers.
… followed by this quick but better one, as a passage.
Alors, à suivre ? So, to be continued?
