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 regret I keep missing your work so I am adding you to my favoutes list so that I can keep up!! This one would be the favourite of the three excellent works because of the creamy tone that for me accentuates the look on the girls face so very nicely done!!!!
stolta
JUST fantastic !!!!!!!!

Mmmm.. this one does has a warmer feel, Strange how a little colour change can alter the feel of an image though. I love the more vintage appeal that this image has and it is another pretty fine work of art! Well done again Mina! Muis

Love your style Mina.. so powerful. It's painted all over this picture. The girl looks a little sad. Hope it ain't your winter depression ;) Amazing composition. The transparency of the face, the letters in the book and the trees with snow on'm.. has many dimensions. I'm not sure about that THING in the middle of the picture though.. That thing spooks me.. can't figure out what it is...hmm.. Geezuz i talk too much... For God And King Richard.. Play ball. ;)
