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.

Great art has the ability to put the viewer in a mood that is hard to shake. This one does just that!

That's a wonderful image!

a wonderful bond between the poem and the image. still I believe we are never dead.

Well done indeed ... excellent image composition. The blue coloration of the image blends with the sentiment of the poem creating an insinuating charge greater than its constituent parts. I'll repeat myself. Well done indeed, Ms. Sun!

beautiful image and poetry from the past by Christina who lived to age 64. Christina remembered again now by all those who see your art.
