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.

Your art is always such an intriguing blend of color, nature, and spirit. Love the rich greens in this, and of course, that's a great quote, and so true. CC

It appears that Ophelia is dreaming of willow trees and swan dives into deep ponds. Beautifully accomplished work dear Mina. Oh! And BTW, I read today that Mother Theresa's diaries reveal she was, all along, a close atheist. If so, that should qualify her for sainthood. HUGS

Oh Mina..I don't even think I have sufficient words for this one! I LOVE it! A long, slow fall from the willow, into the brook...and that's so splendidly portrayed here. Hmmm...glad you didn't post this one BEFORE the Lovecraft image. I'd have heard shrieks from 'round the globe that you should Get thee to a nunnery! ~:P....Blessings, mi hermana!
