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.

In your creations, Mina I always find a mixture of romanticism, magic, meditation and mystery even of fantastic. Here these various climates are marked by this splendid promeneuse, learnedly surrounded by splendid crystals of snow! That of poetry!!!

Hummm, when I opened up this picture the words "Oh, I really like this one" just flowed through me. You did a great job of boosting what looks like an Environments background and truely making it your own with all that intricute brush work. I really like the frosted tree to the right and the swirly light in her hand. Overall, it has the magical quality of a Canadian winter snowfall that I am all so familiar with :-)

Such a lovely image. Winter is a gift with its pristine beauty, glittering snow, spicy hot cider by a cozy fireplaces, knit caps and gloves, and the chance to draw inward for a time. CC
