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.

Very fitting gift for Richard, who is indeed excellent at showing us the beauty of nature's flowers. Wonderful, Mina. Very.....blue! PS have not forgotten about your last upload, just been stumped by it. may I get a hint, perhaps?

The blue velvet like rose almost made me gasp for air. I just LOVE those colors. With this I don't belittle your shot or mother nature's colors. Stunning both.

Blue roses....reminds me of The Glass Menagerie...That's what the 'gentleman caller' calls Laura...anyhoo...I thought this was for Onslow, he also posts beautiful flower shots. This is lovely Mina. No matter who it is for. Hope you and both Richard's ( lol) are having a wonderful Sunday. ( Pssst....how did you manage to get the original photo in your upload? There's been times I have really wanted to do that. Thanks. ) -M :^) EDIT: I just saw your title and you actually say it's for Richard/yesitis....Duh! Guess I'm not too eagle-eyed today! ;^P

I've read that a blue rose manifests in dreams poetically demonstrating a melding of reality, sadness and hope. Or perhaps a blue rose is just a blue rose. :-) Excellent images dear Mina. Hugs!

Beautiful velvety rose. They are both gorgeous but I think you have added something special with the blue one.
