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 and divine piece, Sugar plum. Love the mood in this one. And it's a great poem too. Crackled texture looks great. An immortal masterpiece. Love your style. A nice dedication to a friend with a fantastic and huge gallery.

Twenty-six views so far when I come. One for every letter of the English alphabet. Should I go for Phoenician and 27 thus separting Biblos from Tyre? The oarsmen row on both sides of the great ship and you soon know the answer as the sail catches wind.

Oh Mina, what a delightful surprise this morning :) This is a gorgeous image with such a wonderful palette of rich, deep colors and wonderful antiqued painting texture. I love the character (as always) and how she gently melds into and out of the clouds of creation. Mystically mysterious and I thank you so much for the sweet dedi and beautiful poem. I shall have to delve into his writings now ... :)
