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.

Your bottom of the barrel appears to be filled with material most would be proud and happy to submit. I like this alot, has a great ethereal look.....I wonder what else you're holding back. Thank you much for sharing, hope the remainder of your weekend goes well.

You know what?... I gotta get myself a new barrel. The bottom of mine is full of stuff that's out of focus and badly composed. :o) THIS is spectacular! Maybe YOU could find a way to improve it, but my old eyes don't see how. I'm favin' it and there's nothing you can do to stop me! Outstanding work, Mina.

The bottom of your barrel is very pretty! :) I see what you mean, though. There's something lacking ... a certain ... je ne sais quoi ... sigh Yes. Well. I keep moving elements around in my mind to see ... Nonetheless, it's quite beautiful!

It is a good image. It certainly presents both the elements of purity and the unsettled, unease that is the life we all live in... it is an image full of hope and aspirations.

I have a huge bottom of my barrel that may never see the light of day, but I'm glad to see this image made it out, for it's quite intriguing. She seems to be emerging from chaos into the light, a kind of rebirth. CC
