On Jean Baptiste Holiday Weekend … some cool quotes from some Québec greats:
“We can assume another man’s trade, but only we can see nature through our own eyes.” Marc-Aurèle Fortin
“I have no preconceived idea. Facing that blank paper with my mind free of any literary ideas, I obey whatever impulse comes first.” Paul‑Émile Borduas
“I paint because I like to paint. I have no theories.” Jean-Paul Lemieux
“When I hesitate, I do not paint. When I paint, I do not hesitate.” Jean-Paul Riopelle
Cassons un pinceau!

“I have never wanted to paint thickly – paint tubes are much too expensive. But one way or another, the painting has to be done. When I learn how to paint better, I will paint less thickly.” Jean-Paul Riopelle
