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.

I agree with Mountain Hawk, I hate lies and respect the truth. The hawk has a pinpoint eye for truth from heights above. They call it hawkeye. They know the forest from the trees so to speak, truth from bs. The hawk is a provider,protector and a warrior. A wonderful image Mina and a great dedication.

An admission: I drew from this image...and thank both you, mi hermana, and mountainhawk, for the sharing. An extraordinarily powerful piece, this one...from representation, to the symbolism in color as well. A moving, strength-filled, fragile powerhouse...a loving dedication....and another beautiful creation from your very spirit. B*B and enormous hugs! :)

Strangely enough, we have a Cooper's Hawk that hangs around here, in the suburbs. I see both him and her around. They fly almost soundlessly between houses. Early this year a Red Tail came for a look-see, and left. I think it didn't want to intrude on the Cooper's territory. Beautiful work Mina, an image that never loses it's spell.

This really looks magnificent
