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.

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've read a couple of articles concerning the connection of Kali Ma to 12-21-2012 and the end of history as we know it. Not to worry though as civilization isn't all it's cracked up to be anyway. LOL Your link indicated Kali Ma relates to the "profound way life and birth are integrally connected to death and destruction." True. Well done dear Mina. Hugs.

She's a versatile goddess. I have seen the figure but didn't know the meaning. I like your version with its colours and textures. Lovely work.

super stuff Mina. I must apologize for being late and most likely missing comments lately. I have a new job and I am just so far behind I hate it. This is super work, I love your Egyptian work and I see some Vishnu influence or maybe it's the other way around. Not me , no expert here, I once spent a period of time in Nepal and I have always thought Hinhi images and Egyptian seemed so similar. Yeah, well, I am just a Bone man ya know. & Peace

I have a friend named Kali, she takes a lot of ribbing. She's a red headed green eyed Celt! Her Mom just liked the sound of it, and refused to bring a Mary or Kathleen anything into the world! BJ
