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.

A dream within a dream... powerfull concept that you've well visualized. An image I'm going to have to come back to. Enjoying the symbolism employed, and the opposites portrayed by the two characters - to the storm that such a realization creates. A brillant thought piece for sure. Bravo

your work is always so expressive and in deep thought. the only difference between a dream and a nightmare is the lesser of the two

Just Want To Jump Into This Fantastic Artwork That You Have Created. Outstanding Artwork Mina!!ARTWITHIN
Wonderful conceptualization of Poe's poem. It is interesting that the dreams are in black and white. Some dream in B&W and others in color, and still other in both. I think I note a blue tint here. Excellent work Mina.

Hello there Mina. Sorry I've been away. Life has been sort of boring for me lately and I have no inspiration. But I am going "home" for 10 days and will be coming back with lots & lots of photos to share. I still love your work. It really moves me. Glad to see others haven't gotten into a rut like I have. All my love, Rhonda.
