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.

Apart from the immediate trippy appeal I find the mixing of birds with a coral like environment and make this all part of the face as a true work of brilliance. Both in creativeness and also in style. Wonderful Fineart Mina' I know you hear this probably every day, but this would realy look great as a wall hanging! FAV! Muis

This is really out of this world. I love the batik like look to this and the vibrant colors. Something else stands out to me. That translucent shape central lower portion of the image is fantastic. Your design concept carries me beyond... Excellent artwork. Hugs, Suzanne

I dunno, sistah. I don't think this one is easy at all, deduction wise. There's an awful lot of intricate and barely concealed innuendo here as well, aside from the obvious. Personally, I'm LOVING it! ALL of it! :) And, again, congrats and hugs on the charts! Well deserved, Mina! I personally hope you just stay camped out there in the ranks :)
