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.

no matter what the discussions are on the charts, it is always nice to see your name there - I've seen your name there... I have never seen mine there - doesn't mean it hasn't been there, I just don't look but a few times a year. Congrats on chart busting!

Turducken is definitely not a feast for Vegans, three Birds with one Fork, LoL. Never been much into the charts, it's all about the Art not the Ratings. Super work Mina Peace

This is beautiful! I predict good ratings. :) The composition is wonderful, and I love the soft color of her dress against the almost b&w background. It whispers ... just the right tone! Congrats on your success in the charts last week! Three at the top of the list ... awesome result. It's very exciting! :)

Such a lovely image with subtle colors. I have collected several bird wings that have fallen into my universe, gifts from a raven, a hawk, and a peacock. Have a great Thanksgiving. CC
