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
Ă‚Â 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.

Mina, just amazing artwork, my friend! Your images are never simple; and it's never easy to look away from them.... captivating indeed! The colours and the mysticism about this image is indeed gripping. You are a such a greatly admired, and most talented Artist! A lovely tribute to our Dear Friend, as well...

thank you for making me aware of Dirk, with this beautiful piece as a tribute...you've captured the utopian grace & dream of the Arthurian legends, but you've also captured the deep grace & vision of you, with a made-of-spirit queen, a beautiful craggy castle, your almost Oriental trees windswept on a precipice, and one of the most beautiful mountain depictions I've seen—melded into sky & cosmos & stars all at once. A textural cornucopia, the palette is in deep beautiful blues, and a reminder (once again) why you're one of our most beloved & best artists. I fav'd it before, but it's worth saying again: Beautiful.
