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.

This is a very creative piece with a lovely texture. I like how you have done each strip to make a whole. Beautifully done.

Cool song & Interesting interpretation.

Phew, I got scared for a minute .. thankfully kitty's not dead. And no kitties were harmed in the making of this image you say??? Even after reading your notes, I still persisted in looking for a kitty. Sigh .. long day, brain not working well tonite! Love the confusion the image creates with all the vertical lines. The purple heart must have been awarded to her for having loved, and lived to love again.

Great idea though for some totally obscure reason when I first viewed the image the work of Mondrian popped into my head and I have no idea why. Probably need my head examined! Excellent work as always!!!!

This is the type of creative graphics I'd like to see more often on Renderosity: daring and imaginative, as your splendid composition is! :-)

I made an image of a cat sleeping in a wheelchair to commemorate scraping up a white stray cat off the frozen street one winter. I called it "naptime for kitty" from my son's euphemism, "take a dirt nap." Loves have a way of finding energy we lack.

more expressive design, mina. You see a blank space? The world pours in. Many vistas in this piece, many worlds layered behind each other. Your big black columns are wonderfully alive, spreading and growing outward like moss. You paint on colors like putting jewels, and your people are always reaching out. I don't know the song, I don't know the lyrics, but to me, you've made a song of your own. You even have 2 hearts. It's beautiful. Bows.
