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.

Geez there's alot going on here. Slightly disturbing, yet it draws me at the same time. I'm not sure if I explained that right, but this is a neat image, I love the eerie feel.

I agree that there is a LOT going on in this image; and it's all incredibly gorgeous and moody. I love the rich textures, the layered hints and whispers of images that might or might not actually be there. That in itself brings out a wonderfully eerie mood. Fantastic work, and as is typical of me, I have some catching up to do.
awjay

I didn't know there was such thing as a 'bad moon' and at first I read 'bad mood'...! and maybe that's what you meant... It's really well done though, bad looks really good with you Mina :)
