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 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.

I really love this.... I believe we all have "imaginary lovers" and this image is beautiful. I love faces as well. It would be interesting to see what others would come up with for an imaginary lover image. Thanks Mina.

Beautiful expression of the song Mina. I love it. Thanks so for sharing this!
ReBorne
Great blending and tone, love the overall effect.... nice idea to match the title/lyrics, too..... (",)

beautiful face and lovely image Mina!
Digimon
Oh...I remember this song!! Hehe..Nice interpretation! I agree with Ohoola, would be fun to see what people come up with! The eyes in your model have a wonderful "Come hither" stare!!

Love the song and the sentiment expressed. Reminds me of a Melanie Safka song: Lover's Lullaby LOVERS' LULLABY And when I remember how good your love feels The real world goes slipping away And though its just dreaming I make your love true And I trade in this real world for one dream of you I go to a clearing in a wood that we shared When the real world pulls us apart Though I cant hold your hand, and I cant kiss you there I would die in this real world to live in your heart And though oer simple is there anything else? Sometimes I awaken to question myself Oh .. what fools, what children, to follow the heart For a dream that might last just one night But something that doesnt speak English says Do And Id trade in this real world for one night with you And something with wings and speaks only in blues Tells me trade in this real world for one night with you .. The image is simply stunning - not a word I use very often. The composition, the model and the hint of colour in those eyes are all very beautiful. Really, really good, my friend. Mike

Wonderful dreamy image. Love her eyes! Sort of soft and unfinished around the edges to allow for editing as you dream. I was reminded of Mike's poem " Just A While". Ohoola already posted his, or is she real, your Latte Lady? C'mon guys, I'll even try and write something! This could be fun. BJ

Love the effect you have here Mina, it fits he motive so well. Sounds tempting with an imaginary lover, would be handy:-)

When starved one feels desperate love for all forms of food and drink. When satiated one merely indulges out of habit. But all appetitive loves and lovers are, in my humble final analysis, imaginary. Well done Ms. Mina. HUGS *****
wildgoha
Ahhh Mina again something amazing ! so beauty art and her eyes inside like a pure loving heart and leaves in hair - the words are so beauty and I wish this could be in my life too - but I havn't this luck - so now my midnight fantasies are only mine LOL I admire this job

All image in black and white like memories... and her eyes blue penetrating.. The picture brings melancholy to me.

Outstanding! How you led the view to the face and then to the eyes...; and great taste in music too :)
Margana
Gorgeous and romantic work,Mina.Like meiko,I am reminded of a song I love...'Obsession',by Christopher Jak.These are my favorite words from it: "I will never touch you for real I will never touch you,at all... I would never speak another word again, To see you open up your eyes, And in slow-motion smile... A secret to me that's got no words at all... No words at all." Sigh.I always love your uploads.They so frequently touch my heart.Beautiful and most stirring work,once again,my friend.All the best to you.-M :^)
