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 green undertones are quite beautiful and your billowing clouds and 'groundless' feel are sweeping. I love the power of your imagery, and the deep power of your feminine imagery. In a world deeply lacking in that power, artists like you are restoring the balance. Much gratitude. It's beautiful.

When is it night in space? And when is it day? Is her rule coextensive with shadow and dark side? Or does she claim everything windowless?

When I first read the title I immediately thought of X-23 the uber-female clone of Wolverine; dominatrix prostitute. But this works too in a most dramatic way. :-) Stunning work dearest Mina. HUGS

Absolutely a masterpiece, Mina. Reincarnation maybe? Stunning palette, colours and composition. Love those clouds or auras, whatever it is in the right side. Looks fantastic. Nice goddess too. love the buttons in her dress ;)
