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.

Ooooh, I love the depth you were able to achieve in this work! It's almost like I can climb right into the scene! The color choices work excellently together, and the contrast between shades is fantastic! Beautiful work Mina! I hope your day is magnificent my friend! XOXOX

Very cool in concept and temp! The use of text is always tough, great job on it. a post-modernist horror perhaps.

Hello dearest Mina. I'm sorry I've been away too long. I haven't forgotten about you or my other friends here. I've just been distracted with life and all the problems it can bring. This is a really cool image you've got going on here. I also love the night. In honesty, I prefer it over the day time hours. But humans aren't meant to be nocturnal creatures. Beautifully done, my dear. {{VOTE}}

Beautiful, and the words of John Galworthy fit your image wonderfully. There is such an air of longing in this image Mina. Whether long for the past or something else, it evokes a lot of emotion. Excellent work!

This is a very inspiring piece of work. I love so much about it, the integration of text, the choice of colors, and the way it all melds together into "passion, longings, and regrets"
