Autoportrait |

|
The innocent joys of heavy
paintbrushes. The liberty to express takes shape. Interest grows from transports of
emotion. I said yes. Submersions into the abysses are unveiled in joyous
consent. I found my life in discordant painting and the misunderstood
jargons’ faithfulness did not deny the images revealed. The quill and the paintbrush met, clashed and were permanently
changed. The issuing sound carries well. I have vanquished my hesitations. I have overcome to
the happiness of blacking, bleaching, regurgitating and branding. I fear for
the death of indulgence. The chase haunts and feeds me. I tell my story by
misadventures both striking and mocling. The chatter betrays and denounces
me. I announce and devour myself. I perceive myself. I paint in the delirium of my liberty, won in the
depths of unrelenting abandon. I find myself in the ability to vanquish and to tremble. Judgement is
mine. Kindness returns to me like a forgotten gift. I find and welcome myself
acknowledging the happiness born of the depths of encompassing darkness, of
forgiven demise. I have spewed forth extravagance. I delve into the
delicacy of buried sorrow. I have leapt to the pinnacle of the recovered orchard. I will bite
into each apple. Francine Labelle |
