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.

Excellent image Mina...there is sadness and fear and destruction beneath the green and torn exterior. Wonderful work!

This is awesome Mina...the technigure of hiding behind all that is a ver good idea, because the Christian devil is good at hiding, but the real Christians know where he lurks, lol

Wonderful image Mina, I love the way the eyes are starring intently, while appearing to do so through blinds. Reminds me of the prying eyes of snoops and gossipers. I also like the impression of hiding and shadows. Now, my mind also goes to the old saying of "Think before you speak". Personally, I don't like blaming the "Devil" for everything. It seems an easy escape from personal responsibility & our own culpability. Thank you for the evocative and thought provoking image. Hugs, Suzanne

Those evil eyes! Wonderful texturing and overal1 composition. The colors remind me of a stained glass window I saw during childhood, of the Serpent in the Garden of Eden.
mansco
Powerful work, a splendid title also ;O)
Treform
Very neuancefull image. Aptly named seeking to fill us with the envy carnally possessed by this voyeristic preditor. Perhaps he gets too much glory though defeated as he already is.
BobaDuffs
Wow Super! totally awesome texture and mind provoking thoughts abound! All around powerful image! I almost see a bit resemblance to George Washington and the almighty Dollar bill??!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Say it ain't so!! Fantastic work! :D "It isn't losing all the money, it's losing all the stuff!" -The Jerk

Eerie and unsettling work.
Margana
Deep stuff....and a lovely toned and yet creepy-kinda image, Mina. I wonder where you get these from. Do you start with an idea or does it just evolve? Always great seeing what you do. This is excellent. -M :^ Who has a bit of internet right now and is running with it, lol.
