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.

Mina, in the midst of great sorrow, my heart is lightened to see such wonderful tributes, memorials, and caring for Martin. May his light continue to shine on us. I can't help but see him in the wonderful moon that he shared with us all.

A beautiful image to say goodbye to one and Happy Birthday to another. It is sad I got to know Martin only after hearing of his passing, but even in that short time of seeing his image and reading some of his comments I can see why he was so special. Life is as precious and fragile as these beautiful flowers. CC

I'm Katja Mina, Martin's sister and I want to thank you so very much for this wonderful memory of Martin. I know he loves it and it puts a big smile on his face. It's incredible to see how many wonderful people thought of him this week I'm so touched I don't know what to say except another thank you so very much Mina!

A very happy birthday to Egmont and tribute. I just noticed today that martin's gallery was down, I wanted to view his moon drawings again they were so amazing, and only that one image was up, and everything else was taken down and that something he said was changing. I didn't know he had passed on. I'm in total shock and very sad. A wonderful tribute, he would be very proud, lets all give a prayer and moment for our lost friend here martin george.

Although I didn't know Martin, I feel as Mr. Donne. Each mans death diminishes me. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

A double edged sword for sure, sorrow and joy on the same day. Odd, isn't it? A beautiful lily to celebrate both joy and sorrow.
