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.

Loose the slaver flag. Real red necks are not Klansmen or Confederates. Those idiots killed and enslaved americans and rebelled against the nation to do it. Would you tolerate Nazi flag waiving? It aint cute. Being poor don't make us stupid or evil hun.

I agree with some of the comments that it's great you showed bits of your past like this. These are great shots, really fun, really wild and the kind of shot everyone can identify with, pieces of our past that we look back on with a smile and a lotta love. Love these shots. Great collection. Thank you.

Oh Mina you are for real! Being South African some of the "redneck" humor escapes us, but we have similar jokes and funny comparisons. The life you show there is one which is close to me, so if ever I move to the States, I'd make a great redneck... LOL. Great memories, you hang on the them and be proud!
