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.

LOTR sure is a great inspiration to base ones art on. I like your representation of the woodland realm alot Mina. There certainly seems to be alot of mystery and magic engulfed in this image of yours.

Drop-dead beautiful it is.

Beautiful, Mina! Very LOTR for sure.But also brings to mind my favorite faerie artist, Brian Froud. Such a lovely, ethereal and magical image. I haven't the words to describe my feeling about the picture, and with all the other great commenters, they took some of the words right out of my mouth! Blessings!

Gorgeous work and very suited to the ideas LOTR plays with the Woodland Realms. I'm sure Master Tolkien would be pleased to know his work inspired so many artists to emulate his words into images (and, yes, I know we have to thank P.J. too). Lovely work!
