Un Livre Des Aquarelles

A photograph is a cursory glance, to which I return for a reminder. But the camera is mostly impersonal. I may direct it, but it interferes, interposes. I use these aquarelles like snapshots. When my hand touches the pencil, the brush, the paint, I become a part of the moment. Nobody else sees it as I did. I saw all these places. I studied them and painted them. They are my memory.
