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.

Gotta tell ya' I've been in and out of artists studios for two days now, and visited ummm, I lost count, a number of galleries and tonight, logging in and seeing these my optic nerves just calm down. Beautiful, restful, and a very lovely work here. I like the sense of depth in a heavy surface, a further sense of worlds and thought in the figure. Right-on.

Yeah, inquiring minds want to know, how DO you always come up with these gorgeous creations, AND almost (grins) keep up with the viewing?? I'm lucky if I can post one thing a week or so, and hardly EVER keep up! Gorgeous work on this one!

When I see this, I continually think of Gustave Klimt (did i spell his name right?) I think it's the colors you used to such brilliant effect, though I think--weirdly enough--its her eyeshadow and hair. Anyway, I don't really care what triggers the association, I'm just glad I saw this image. It's intriguing, haunting, beautiful, and maybe the whole Klimt reference also comes from the fact that this reminds me of a souped up, snazzy, completely distinctive take on symbolist art. At any rate, I like it a lot, and the way that you use layers and manipulate light is always so incredibly spot on! Great work! And for what it's worth, the thing I said about Klimt just means that HE is in good company.
