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.

Beautiful image with a dark message. In keeping with the title I suppose this is what it's like to "circle the drain." Well done dear Mina. Hugs back at ya. :-)

Nice work and good splash of colour. Love all those bubbles. We will all disappear in a swirl of magnificent blue? ... (Reminds me of the old Music-Hall song: "Your bibey has gorn dahn the plug'ole" ... !)

Inspiring! (Really! I was looking at this, had an idea, went and did it, and am thrilled with the result!) This is what I love about Renderosity. Great ideas are just thick on the ground. I see what you did, what somebody else did, it mixes with what's already in my brain, and poof! I'm inspired to go try something I've never done before! Thanks for sharing your genius!

An awesome whirlpool, such wonderful motion and color! .. maybe it's only sucking in the broken hopes and dreams, and spitting them out the other side, all repaired and possible again?

Thanks , Mina - I did have a very nice Saturday! :-) Auntietk is so right abut inspiration; you always show with your art (including your words!) such enthusiasm and freshness that it must inspire all of us! In this picture there's life, the real spirit with some melancholic feature that life must have to be whole. Beautiful. - Have a great Sunday, Mina!
