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.

This is extraordinary! (WOW, there's a first, I spelled "extraordinary" right, I think.) Anyway, this is is an outstanding render, I love the composition in general, the light, the fuzzy quality and the overall mood. Seeing this full size is an equal treat! It's incredibly poignant! It's one of my favorites!

Seems like a very dark past - this one is quite spooky and the colors have a lifeless tone depicting your theme so well. CC

super done. got feelings here

This is disturbing in a early 1970's horror movie vibe.....Like a still or a promo banner for the horror movie...This, like most of your work of this genere/style, is deeply layered, and has multiple meaninings & passages that you could get lost in...A very surreal dream like quality form ones mind that stays drifting just below the surface of conciousness before you wake up... Salvidor Dali!!!!!!!!! Thanks for all the reviews, Mimi, reallY!
