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.

WOW! I would love to know a little about how you created this image. It is incredible. It speaks well over a thousand words to me and the writing below the image fits so well. Very very nice work, Mina. hugs back, daniel

We've all been there ... I've certainly been there. Regret quietly announces itself upon reflection and is a force to be reckoned with in the teeter-tottering balance of one's life. It's an emotion that gives rise to improved future decisions and behavior; or if too much, to depression and self-pity. Balance. Excellent image Mina. I applaud this work heartily. *****

Powerful! Sorrowful!! Agonizing!!! Wonderfully expressed, but sheesh!! What a downer!! I know there are many things I wish I could erase, but regret solves nothing, although it should serve as motivation to not repeat said action. Ever watch "My name is Earl"? Well my name is not Earl, but I sure identify with his character, lot's of bad karma to atone for! Still regret just holds us back, better to move forward and reverse the bad karma. Have a great weekend!!

This is so searching in its message - 'tis an image which engages and intrigues in equal measure. Technically it is a marvellous piece of powerful art. Your words, as always, extend and illuminate the art. Hugs to you too! Mike

Powerful stuff, m'luv. I've been too emotionally empty and uninspired lately to continue my 'Under the Skin' series...and then you blow me away with a couple of awesome works on emotional states! I was considering regret/remorse as my next piece in the series, but this is just too hard an act to follow...;^) Add me to the chorus of those asking for more info on the process and apps, etc....
