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
Ă‚Â 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.

And what do you get when they bump into each other? Atom's Apple! Okay...that was bad, lol. Anyway, I think your cartooning is great, Mizzem. I would know immediately that that was Einstein, and that's what good cartooning does. So you definately got skills. But then, I already knew that. ;^) Great to see you show yet another side of your boundless creativity. Have a smashing Freitag... and an underbar helg! Stora kramar - Mizzem2 :^)

Boy... Thanks, Mina. Luv ya. :) I thought my tear channels was all drained from my latest render's.. but no..;) I always talked too much. No reason to change that now :) I'm a schmuck.. but i'm aware of it #:oD I always loved your work. And i will always love it. Not only because you are an amazing artist when it comes to ideas and the source of inspiration. But because of the means used to make it. Usually it is.. Your heart, soul, Photoshop and a Wacom tablet. But for this one.. you used your feelings for me, and your hand too. And that feels good... believe me.. You did dare to show your feelings with this, instead of keeping them inside you. That takes strength and courage. I'm not sure people are aware of it... but i know it. Many people are afraid of art... because they don't feel like they really understand it. And they are ashamed of telling anyone.. because of fear that others might find them stupid. But we are all artists. Everyone have the instinct. The problem is that it takes courage to use it. Because it is all about daring to show your feelings to others. That simple it is. Picasso taught us why it is so simple. Let us assume that Pablo Picasso knew what art is.#;oD Because he said once... Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up....Pablo Picasso. What the BEEP did he mean with that? He meant... children are not afraid to show their feelings. It is in their nature to do it. So they are just being honest and makes honest art. But as humans grow and turn into adults. The fear of showing feelings, runs us down. Everyone can make art easily... Show your feelings through a painting, a song, a lyric, a sculpture.. any thing really. It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child....Pablo Picasso. What did he mean by that? What he meant is.. that a child always uses it's feelings to draw and paint with. Untill adults teach the child not to. A major mistake imo. And then as grown up's.. we have to learn how to use feelings..all over again. Because we were taught not to do that...So we need to learn once again.. What we had as instinct in childhood....How to canalize feelings into art work. So that is the reason why Picasso said it takes a lifetime to paint like a child. He was right... but you have reached far on this path, Mina. I love to see you draw and paint like a child.. because i know what it means. This is made for me with your feelings. And you have my thanks and deepest respect for that. This tells me that you like me. From my point of view.. this is the uttermost tribute a person can get. And i am proud that it is meant for me. There is so many pictures in these galleries...with no meaning at all. But they are pretty for the eye. But this one... is pretty to the heart and soul. I love this drawing. Much humor in it. And i need it. René Magritte and Albert Einstein was grand master's in each their field. I admire both of them a lot. But i admire you more, Mina. :) Seems this artwork is gonna crack the art charts, for the matter of favorites. #;oD There is a lot to learn from that fact too :) Luv'n Hugs LBJ2-Julla.
