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.

Wow, wha a wonderful, mystical (and mysterious) creation! There really seems to be a lot going on here - fascinating image!

you know, it's almost like seeing an intense gaze through debris, as if through the smoke from a fire in the soul...I love the hairline circles, curves & squiggles, they're like the age-lines of old masterpieces or the debris on the lenses of old cameras: There's something inner-chamber-ish about them (I can't explain what that means for the life of me, but I feel it!). And the face is shaded with real passion & intensity. The dark fires of love? It's like peering into a soul through the atmosphere of an intense moment, and it packs a real punch. (And I love that pink orb to the left of her chin—it's like a Light that follows her around.) And you apply the reds to her face in a very painterly manner: reminded me of Rembrandt! Very intense & evocative, Mina. As always.

Beautiful piece for above my couch, Sugar plum.#:o) Love your special scratchy style. Love is in the air and on the canvas. Almost like a Renoir which has been dragged 5 miles, after a car. Masterful handwork in all aspects. Good ole Pierre-Auguste would have loved it. I do anyway.
