    Wow, this is just such an intense piece of artwork. Amazing. Interesting from a spiriual point of view as well. Raises some very good questions about the struggle to connect with God. Great job.

    Compelling work. Such a confronting way to show pain and despair….but the title and the look of her face say it all….. that even after this there is hope for healing and growing.

    I have seen this one a few times before, but it is such a powerful painting. People pray and expect answers. What happens when the don’t come? I think you have expressed such frustration beautifully.

    I am totally drawn to look in your eyes on this one April…you seem so definite & certain but at the same time saying “just try and stop me now…look what I’ve done, I’m sitting on the ‘edge of good-bye & I really don’t care >>> can you help me or what?” Very expressive & brilliant work my friend! Your portraits of “Hope” speak LOUD volumes & the bass is on bust!

  • Damian

    Damian, 4 months ago

    Beautiful. I’ve been looking at her eyes to place the expression. The hardened focus from the other side of suicide; the clarity of realisation.

  • April Mansilla

    April Mansilla in reply to Damian’s comment, 4 months ago

    thank you …this is one I never have out …I hate her look on me ….the truth she has

    April every line of this portrait is filled with felt emotion and pain. I am so moved by the power and intensity of this stunning portrait and my heart connects directly to the essence of feeling you have so beautifully depicted. This is a masterpiece.

    Reminiscent, to me, at least, of the work of Egon Schiele, on eof my favorite painters. This is stark and as real as a painting gets. Boy, can I relate.
