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 so very much recognize the feeling, I miss someone in my life so much, that it's heart aching... Guess I just have a few friends in this place who just are able to take away the longing... It's an absolutely wonderful design, dear Mina HUGS

Ooo..this is a tough one... Really deep.. But a masterpiece for sure. Your own very special style really shine through here. The eyes are the mirror of the soul.... And for me, that is the key to this picture. One has but to look into her eyes... To understand why the title is...Longing. A true union in itself this amazing work. Very sensitive and emotional expression it is too. I believe the model is your daughter. And yes.. lost love hurts like hell... it hurts even more each time it happens. It can develop itself to anxiety and fear of love if it happen too many times.
