Yes, take a trip, but don’t leave your spot, because it is only after making peace within ourselves that we perceive the movement of things: the ocean off a beach in the Landes, the wind through the branches in a pine forest, the blues and the mauves of the Aegean islands, the ochres of southern Morocco.  To paint with such purity and with such a steady love of landscape, watercolour is the ideal medium.  Free of violent strokes, watercolours transpose reality, capturing fleeting light, precious moments … We blink our eyes and find the happiness of expression that delights sensitive souls.  Hanoteau laughs at rules and trends … Each of his paintings is a little tale in which light-hearted wisdom, nearly transparent, is an invitation to a motionless voyage.
