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.

Beautifully done, my dear! I've always liked "Artemis" better because it sounds more exotic than "Diana." Well well. To each their own, eh? No matter what you call her, this is gorgeous! :)

It's a Greek helmet, so she should be Artemis ("Hearty Miss" ???) Great pose and picture - love the dress and hair.

And you chose very well. For the Goddess Large Diana, strong and a character without (pitiée )for its adversaries. Splendid bottom which raises the capacity and affirms in your Beautiful Diana like the size of her octroits. Have would say that she says to us with her glance ((Look at that I made like imposing))Hummm Sublime my Beautiful like always ((5++)).............................................((Et tu as très bien choisis. Pour la Déesse Diana Grande, forte et un caractère sans pitiée pour ses adversaires . Magnifique fond qui rehausse le pouvoir et affirme à ta Belle Diana comme la grandeur de ses octroits . Ont dirait qu'elle nous dit avec son regard ((Regardez se que j'ai fait comme grandiose ))Hummm Sublime ma Belle comme toujours ((5++))
