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.

Dag nabbit! I'm really getting tired of favoriting you, ya know! ;o) This is so fantastic! I went to the link and forgot what a tremendous song this is. This sets the perfect mood and compliments the song beautifully!~ I'm really getting into this multi-media art you do so well! (hope you don't think that multi-media term is beneath you, if you know what I mean, Sweetie.) Hugs, Scott

Joan Baez huh??? Haven't heard of her in awhile. You compliment her artistry with your's very well, this is a Lovely Composition!!!

Thanks Mina for bringing Joan B back in my memory. I use to listen to her stuff alot back in the 60's (yep, I'm that old). Your image is awesome and it fits very well with the title and song. Now I have to go out and find me some JB cds..lol

Wie ein Bild, das durch einen alten Spiegel er das altmodische Stanniol nachgedacht wurde, die unentschlossene Prinzessin, aus vollem Holz verkehrt... Like an image reflected by an old mirror on old-fashioned silvering, the hesitant princess, circulates in full wood...

Magnificent textures and magnificent tints!

At one time, I had almost all of Joan Baez's albums. She is my heroine, and we hold to our shared values and beliefs to this day. This is a wonderful song with a hint of melancholy. Thank you mina for your beautiful image so in keeping with a beautiful song. And thanks for the link so I could once again enjoy this song.

This is beautiful image, Mina! With so much emotions, and meanings in it. I love the colours; you've blended everything so nicely and got a great balance there. And the image is so perfect with the Joan Baez's song. Thank you for the link - it is so wonderful to listen to Baez and write this comment. Thank you - now I have to go to rewind the cassette lol

Beautiful song, beautiful image. (Did you know that Judas Priest did a remake of Diamonds & Rust? It's on their "Sin After Sin" album. Imagine that! It's actually pretty good, although I like the original better.)
