Powerful work April, your art is so strong and emotive.
April Mansilla replied
as is yours:) wouldn’t it be nice though if we were so happy that we could feel satisfied painting flowers….

hahaha, yes, flowers and suns with happy, smiling faces like the kind of untainted pictures children draw, but then again, I never drew those kind of pictures when I was a child either. ;)
April Mansilla replied
no me neither ;) my nick name was dirty picture girl hahaha…a serenity would be nice though

oh sadness .. you know i think i lot of people carry that look when there alone .. one of the things that makes this series so powerful and real is that many can see themselves .. admitting that is thier choice i guess .. but i’ve seen and felt .. it just the path that was different .. i hope your not too hard on yourself you are a special gal : ) xxx

Your work is AMAZING!!!
All your works are very effective portraying the emotions which you wanted to portray. All the colours you use create a mood which compliments the emotions and feelings which are shown in you work.
This artwork captured my eyes when I first saw it and it blew me away.
If only the right people saw your work, to get you where you want to go.
DON’T give up!!!!!!!!! Keep trying.
The feeling you will experience when you succeed will be incredible and you will never forget it.
