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.

I'm happy to read that you, all the household members, and the computer weren't drowned in the deluge. Excellent image dearest Mina, as always. I dare say that F. Scott would approve. HUGS

No matter how much beauty you add together it does not clash. I suppose it is possible to get too close and lose the coherence of the beauty. Then only scientists can see it and the artists are miserable until voyeurism is restored.

Mina this is so beautiful and for such a wonderful lady. Your work always inspires and has such a feeling of peace attached to it. Like you I am not a huge fan of the heat and at times regret the sauna like temps here.

Après moi le déluge ... I love the feel of this - it makes me think of water (in a GOOD way, not in a Fay way!). Beautiful work! The mono pallet works great, and I love the details. Glad all is well! I don't envy you your hot, steamy days! Have you considered North Dakota? :)
