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.

Wow, Mina - this is topnotch work! Love the comp and POV, and the colors cast over the whole scene from that sky are perfecto! How'd you get that great lens flare...?

Very cool composition Mina and I do recall how valiantly Morgan Le Fay fought to save her matriarchal Celtic culture from patriarchal Christianity i.e., that which threatened to destroy the druid way of life. She fought the law and she didn't win unfortunately. Quite a fitting piece for this time of year. *****

Avalon fascinated our minds again and again.... You've created a wonderful scene; filled with feelings of mystical world, maybe nostalgia, maybe a little fear too, and love! So beautiful.
