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.

Simply bewitching! Just got my Harry Potter last night so I can read it and see if it is OK for the boys at my school. There is indeed a feeling of magic @ it. As for your sisters they are not always noticed by many, but indeed make the world a magical place.

Mina, my dear Friend, what a marvellous and stunning image! I think the unconventionality of the term "witch" carries with it, a rather negative connotation for some who may not be familiar with it's nature. I think she is lovely, such beautiful eyes, such a penetrating stare.... and the design adds a magnificent touch. Beautiful colours and the way they interweave together is superb as well. You've set a very mystical tone that radiates from this image--- You certainly have a very special touch as it shows clearly through your work! Thank you so much for sharing this beauty with us!bug hugs

The mauve of the feminine, the beauty and changes of a butterfly, the green of healing and within a circle of power. It's a beautiful image Mina and a wonderful dedication, blessed be and hugs :)

Lovely dedi for a very nice person ;O) Everything is splendid, it's title, her wonderful expression, that make-up or tattoos around her eyes, the magic potion, etc. Love it ;O)

another proof of your talent, Mina, although contrary to the earlier ones, a shift towards a dark palette, thus evolving sadness. hope not for long.
