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.

Wonderful work, Sugar Plum. #;oD Tender and sensitive. It looks very dreamy.. Love the colouring of it too. Night colours. A very nice way of saying thanks to your friend Maike, for the cool BG. Fantastic and creative composition. PS. Nice to hear that Hurricane Fay did not whip you or your family bad. She claimed 7 lives that Fay bitch of what i heard... wicked girl.

She looks like she's sleeping underwater, amidst the fronds... ( Is that what they're called? I've never used the word, 'frond' before, lol. But I have idea what else to call them, lol. ) Anyway, lovely work, Mizzem. I can see Miss Fay's submersive inspiration, here. -Mizzem2 ;^)
