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.

Superficially this sounds like every man's erotic dream. "Yeah!" says he, "I could live with that" ... except, of course, there'd be no post-coital cigarette, or cup of coffee ... or breakfast come to that. This is a marvellous depiction of predatory sensuality in passionate colour and form, Mina ... irrestible yet fatally debilitating.

A perfect union of concept and artwork. Beautifully done Mina. Watch out men! ;D

This is pretty awesome... I love the contrast and how it fuses energy and "psycho"-motion... An eerie feel engulfs a distraut beauty... Too cool indeed!

Excellent image Mina. I just hope this isn't the Middle Eastern variety of succubus. They, according to legend, would trot about on donkey hooves looking for male victims with whom to have intercourse. Once entered by a willing male her vaginal razor blades would put the victim in extreme agony. The succubus would return to her real form and kill her temporary lover. What a lousy way to go, huh? I really love the otherworldly lighting, composition, and alluring character. Well done! *****

Your image conveys so perfectly your words. She really is very beautiful in a kind of dangerous way. Well, I am a woman, who am I to really say...... Wonderful Mina, the colors are just dramatic.

Dear Mina, unearthly beauty is the right word! I love that smooth texture and the intensive way she/it is of looking at the prey. 22446655 Gabrielle
