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.

Hypnotic and beautifully composed image ... seeming to reach to the very heart of the viewer. Excellent, my dear Mina! Mike

That's a wonderful depiction of a sylph, one of the four balancing spirits of the earth, Ms. Sun. Does this piece imply forthcoming images of earth, fire, and water? IIRC Alexander Pope satirized the existence of the sylph as the protectors of women's vanity in "The Rape of the Lock." In more modern net-lore sylphs are depicted as creatures of the air undoing man's best efforts to make our air unbreathable. BTW, I suspect that the human efforts are winning. :-( This is a really well done image Mina. Excellent work. ***** Hugs!, M. 2Loose

Mina as always your art speaks beauty and feeds the mind pure magik. Elementals to mankind may seem soulless, but that is but just a theory in my eyes. Your elemental would represent Europa well. Outstanding work!!!...:))
