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.

Thank you dear Mina for sharing your time taken to make some of your images. This gives a new meaning to the fraze 'peed painting' and it certainly puts me in a mezmerised state when I view your image and those you've so kindly shared before. Nuff said FAV. Muis

Oh my goodness Mina, my little compos take hours in PS, and am never satisfied with any of mine either - it must be the perfectionist thing!! LOL. Wow this is so beautiful and creative, you are indeed very talented as an artist. hugs Jane xx

Dont know about hours some take me 10 minutes from picking everything to render them, nice and easy as the old pc could not take the memory drain, lol But there is nothing wrong with this Mina, its wonderful.

Understand completely. You'll get some inspiration soon and your retouching will work magic so that you love them. You know that WE do. Excellent.

Humm... A glance of research which seems to bury it of its passions. That brings prowesses and frolicking to your work my Beautiful. Which richness and comfort for our sences you bring to us for an unquestionable rapture. Cheer still and mile mercies ((5++)) Humm... Un regard de recherche qui semble l'ensevelir de ses passions .Cela apporte prouesses et ébats à ton oeuvre ma Belle. Quelles richesse et confort pour nos sences tu nous apportent pour un ravissement certain. Bravo encore et mile mercis ((5++))
