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.

Ieneke Jansen, 4 months ago
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!

I awalys LOVE what you write …you see so much of what I am saying …thank you xxxxxxxxx
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 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

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.
