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.

The Frost has a still quality, a moment where the earth goes silent and the traveler has intimations of eternity. But your piece has that plus your usual bursts and sweeps of eternity, swirling through your forest and taking bits of stars and moon with it. The forest is lit as much by the cosmos as by the snow, stars are everywhere, and it has your usual communion between the cosmos and the 'now', where even the trees seem to be lit from within (the edges glow as if light were shooting through their trunks right to their tips). I don't know what your average day looks like, but your soul must be bursting at the seams. A mystical moment; and of course a mythical creature stops by just to affirm this is a deeper reality. Eye-opening for the dog days of August...and magical.
