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.

A poignant haiku and beautiful image Mina. You touch my heart. Hugs, x:)

You've successfully captured the beauty of flowers and haiku...all things must pass, even beauty...so bittersweet and melancholy.

A flicker of light, a trace of flame, and then a wisp of smoke. Barely noticed in the bigger scheme of things, but look how different the world would be if even one of us wasn't born, and didn't live the time given us! Awesome piece, Mina. Puts one in a very reflective mood. Or perhpas it's because it is 1:30 AM again .. and everyone else in this house is a morning person! Good night all .. dream sweet dreams!

The match in shade and choice of print is perfect for the delicacy of the haiku verse! Great work, There's a spring haiku challenge in the writers gallery, actually it started as winter but as with the seasons it has changed. BJ

This is so lovely and delicate Mina. On critique though would be that I think it would look even better made a bit lighter and pastelly
