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 such a beautiful Image you made, I love your work so much. It shows the depth and beauty of your soul my love. I promise to do more Home pics love, but had a image or 2 of some art and thought to get back to it a bit. Hahaha, maybe more photo's soon hun, we are supposed to get more snow today and I am going into the mountains on my bike this morning so if I find any good shots they will be all yours hun, all yours. Maybe I can get a shot of a bear. /winks....on my Helmet cam I got for my Birthday, and post a video for a wild change. We see , but I sure am looking for them bears now I got a good cam. Maybe leave my bike and trail a bear into the woods if find one with big enough paws. Oh I have a paw print I took last week next to my fence of a Bear that is about 6 pounder or so, and his back foot is bigger then my size 13 shoe print I have next to his, so maybe post that one tomorrow, just for you if you guys don/t mind looking at dirt hahaha and a tape measure to show the size of that sucker. So you want to see some Bear and Maylock foot prints? /giggles OH PS: Thanks for the B-Card you sent me hun, it came about 2 weeks late ROTFL, well they tried anyway hahah and I loved the thought very much.

This is such a sensitive and mooving image Mina. You are always able to give your art something extra beautiful, not easy to explain. Spirit?

She looks like she would have excellent conformality when you ran your hand over the marble surface. When the sculpture was done I could finally reveal that the image was known when the marble piece was picked out. The model had only to remove all the guessing.
