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.

You know my Beautiful so Ungrateful Work is - it will become the richness of its hopes important is to make feel our emotions. And you know for all however ugly works are You they. If Beautiful, the hearts will gripp which you will touch And you know it I speak in parabolas For (Laideur) statement equalizes richnesses and Beauties equalizes frights of perceived feelings already because Beauty passes much more quickly and the uglinesses pushes back were only the moment to include/understand well the idea perceived of the Artist my opinion my Beautiful. And you can I can digress but I believe that I is very smelled well. Cheer I admire the richnesses and goodnesses which you bring Like fright in my eyes to dictate goodnesses and the beauties perceived to them... MICKEYRONY ((5++)).........................................((Tu sais ma Belle une Oeuvre si Ingrate soit -elle deviendra la richesse de ses espoirs L'important c'est de faire ressentir nos émotions . Et tu sais pour toutes oeuvres si laides soient T'elles. Si Belles ,acrocheront les coeurs que tu toucheras .Et tu sais la je parle en paraboles .Pour dire Laideur égale richesses et Beautées égale frayeurs de sentiments déja perçus car la Beautée passe beaucoup plus vite et la laideurs repousse ne fussent que le moment de bien comprendre l'idée perçus de l'Artiste mon opinion ma Belle .. Et tu sais je peus divaguer mais je crois que je me sent tès bien . Bravo J'admire les richesses et bontées que tu apportent Comme la frayeur à mes yeux pour leur dicter les bontées et beautées perçues MICKEYRONY

This is very different from your usual, but beautiful. The negative effect makes the colors so different than you usually do. Beautifully done. Bunny

Thats a wonderful image, Mina. Glad you decided to post it! Excellent artwork!

Really nice, but not your usual style. I love her piercing blue eyes. The swirling treatment around her head is pretty cool. Like a water color. Pretty in a different way. I like it!

Your trepidation is unfounded. This is awesome!
