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.

Haunting in some ways Mina....lovely work. The border is quite unusual. I think it is because you have broken away from the norm you are feeling a bit uneasy. This has worked though......Nice image!

lovely.

This is a great image...nicely done. It's subtle and elegant, like all of your other stuff. Overall, the piece works well...I especially love the details within the flower frame itself...something in the blue and black combination works perfectly.

It's like a filter cigarette on a draughtsman's desk. "Getting a hernia trying to draw" is not worth the sentiment in knowing the masters exactly.

Celui-ci est richement et finement travaillé, c'est très beau! La composition est parfaite, l'ambiance, aussi. il manque peu être juste un petit éclat de lumière au niveau du visage... This one is richly and finely worked, it is very beautiful! The composition is completed, the atmosphere, also. It nearly is little just a small brightness of light on the face...

Made me think of the Dylan lyric "When the flower girls want back all they have lent you...* I quote from memory and with my memory that isn't always a good thing smile
