"My friend Al... I’m in awe of you and your amazing talent,... the portrait arrived today you did of Rachel,... I actually had tears when I saw it . I thought you may have sent a painting of an Angel as I was trying to open it,... I guess it turned out to be true ,... Rachel is my sweet angel and she’s such a blessing. No one has ever done anything like this for me.

 

I shall forever be grateful and thankful of you and the awesome gift God has given you. May the Blessings of the Lord over take you . Ephesians 3:20"

"Dear Mr. Manica... Thanks you so much for paint my portrait. You certainly have a God given talent! Winning Miss NW Florida was a special moment for my Mom and I, and now we have a wonderful landmark to remember that great day. May God continue to bless you and your family."

"Al... Some days it feels like my daughter Ashli has been forgotten but when I look at your painting I know you were thinking about her every second. You really captured her eyes. 

 

My daughter was an amazing woman and your painting says you are aware of that. It's a beautiful tribute that makes me cry but not with sadness...

It's really quite difficult to explain, I'm so proud of her and I miss her with my soul. Your painting is so different from a photograph and I can see you hold a piece of her in your heart.... I have shared your painting with my family and want to let you know that it is so appreciated by all of us.   Thank you."

"Al... Thank you very much for creating and painting my portrait. You are talented and this cherished gift will be a treasure especially for my family and children for decades to come! How precious you were for bringing this together. 

I also love the portraits that you painted of my beautiful friend Rachel Saunders Plakon, the portrait of our daughter Summer, and the portrait you created of our First Lady Melania Trump. I feel very honored to be joining their good company. I pray God will bless you for doing such kindnesses for others."

"Al... You gave me a memory on canvas that I'll never 

be able to explain my appreciation for. It will  hang in

a place of honor no matter which home I may live in...    Thank You Brother."

"I want to give a big shout out to Al Manica for creating a family Heirloom. I had this painting Commissioned by Al and he did a beautiful job. I gave him a small 3"x 4" picture of my parents when they were dating back in 1966 from which he made a large 30"x 40" painting. My mom has always said this was her favorite picture of her and dad, so I wanted to get it as a painting. They Love it so much.

If you need a painting done he is the best. If you go to his web site,

www.TheCrazyChristianArtist.com you can see more of his great work.

 

Thank you again Al for the wonderful Portrait of my parents."

"Al... Hermosa!!! So beautiful my friend!!!!!

I found you on Facebook and loved your paintings from the moment I first saw them and decided that you had to do my daughters portrait painting. I sent you her picture and you produced for us a work of art that will be cherished in our family for generations. And I like how you "toned down the background", as you recommended doing.

 

Straight from Texas to California! All your talent and my baby's beauty mixed together and this is the result. Beautiful! THANKS!!!!!!!"

"Al... Beautiful and priceless!! Can’t thank you enough! Will cherish this painting forever!... Thank you Al!"
