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.

I have the nagging feeling that Virgil meant that love conquers all if you go the whole nine yards and wear a diaper, arm yourself with a BB gun, take the precaution of wearing rubber gloves and, last but certainly not least, MAKE SURE that you don't get caught offing your rival. At least that's what I think he was getting at. :-) Excellent art dear Mina. *****

A beautiful, inspirational rose of promise. It could either tell of promise fulfilled, or to be fulfilled. Love is truly a powerful force, if it is true love. If it isn't true, well, I'm afraid the rose won't help...one needs to find that true love. Excellent image, Mina.
