To all of my mother's Renderosity friends:
It saddens me to no end to tell you that my mother, Mina, passed on May 31st, from endometrial cancer. She is survived by my father, Roger, and myself. I apologize for not letting you all know sooner, but her passing has left me with a broken heart and it is very hard to write this, even now. I don't suppose there will ever come a time that it will be easier.
I know how much she loved you all, how much it meant to her to have met such wonderful people, and how much it meant to her to create & share her art with you. I am leaving her work here for a while, as tribute to her, her beauty, her talent & her love.
Brightest Blessings to you all!
Heather
 Mina's daughter
Thanks to all for stopping by and hope you enjoy your visit.

"I get out my work and have a show for myself before I have it publicly.
I make up my own mind about how good or bad or indifferent it is.
After that the critics can write what they please.
I have already settled it for myself so flattery
and criticism go down the same drain and I am quite free.

Such forbidden power within this your enigmatic creation. Temptation is forever beautiful, yet it is her kiss that reveals the hidden truth. Bravo for this wonderful image and thought!!!...:))

Perfect title for this evocative and powerfully moving image. So much hidden within this image, that is only revealed through staring at it for a moment or two. I love how it inspires passionate exploration through your colour choices (red tones = passion, purples = exploration and the unknown or occult, and gold = wisdom and knowledge). Excellent use of colors to encourage a nice long look from the viewer to discover its meaning, which is deeply personal on an individual, by individual basis. Awesome and inspirational work of art Mina! Have an equally passionate and awe-inspiring day my friend!

I can feel the tempest in your use of colors and artful design. I would seem there is a story here, but one hidden from my sight. Excellent artwork Mina.

It's strange but I didn't have that feeling of violence from this image. I think it maybe from the 'warm' colors. Either way.. I really like it! I think this would look fantastic printed & framed on a gallery wall. Have it painted in oils even. I think that would look damned sharp!! I'd be standing infront of it for hours.. just studying it!! Fantastic job, Mina. Makes me want to go grab a canvas, brushes, and my oils!!! {{VOTE}}
