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.

Great beauty and vampire tension here --and with YOUR name being Mina..this is very appropriate.."Mina" being one of the more prominent character names in the original Dracula story ! (jonathan Harker's intended?)

Very spooky Mina and incredibly well done with all the great details. A super halloween scene.

Mina, this is outstandingly erotic and evocative of the Halloween season. This fine example of seasonal art has really done it: you've triggered a memory of one of the finest love scenes ever to touch the silver screen. I'm speaking, of course, about the lusty gropings between Susan Sarandon and Catherine Deneuve in the movie of the same name. Well done dearest Mina. Mucho kudos!
