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.

Love the textures and colors!!! @ caviedes, Lisa Gerard is good to listen to no matter the imagery! My friend and I have her on our list of "Would marry her based on voice alone". Great image!!

So hot it leaves me breathless ... but burning is inherently cleansing, so it should be embraced. The artistry is excellent in that all the elements are blended so well together that they are seamless. Great! Mike

Very well captured deep emotion!

Girl........ I love that song and that group!!!! It was chosen as one of the main songs for The Crow too. (Yes, I love that movie too.) I've seriously thought about having part of those lyrics tattooed on my arm. Still thinking about it. Awsome words to go along with this amazing image. It really grabs ya. Know what I mean? Way, way cool Mina!!!!!

Can almost feel the sweat-soaked pillow and sheets in the morning. I could fake something almost this good using posed 3D model in Bryce....almost! You've given me an idea for a 'sea of flames' piece....imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, y'know! ;^D
mooreno
Way up on my list for mood!

Instinctual burning love keeps the species going and satisfies the biological imperative. Infinite consciousness vibrantly imbues the universe with its own form of insanity. Excellent concept, composition, and realization. Too cool Mina! *****
