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.

A very strange thing, my hubby is watching tv downstairs, and whatever movie he was watching, Sarah McLachlin is singing this very song. All my dogs were rescues of one sort or another. My Gracie Anne was the most special, as much as I love all my "fur-kids", she was my heart and soul. This is most beautiful, touching so many, and hopefully inspiring many to help, or even give one of these less fortunate beings a forever home.

I cry every time that commercial comes on. It has come to the point where I now have to leave the room because it rips at my heart so. What a beautiful image and such an important message :-)

Sorry, way behind the bots again so I am forced to cut and paste to let you know I viewed your work. However I have come to a decision to resolve this. Since the majority of my favorite artist do not view or take the time to comment on my work I am going to be selfish and respond in kind or in this case not respond. All of you that I post this comment to are great artist in my humble opinion. Please do not hate me too much. Disregard the above...Love ya
