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.

Oh Mina! This is such a delightful image and composition, my Dear Friend! She is indeed a glorious wood nymph, in the very meaning of the term! Half human and half plant.... Her elongated body, symbolic of perhaps a tree, and such a beautiful world around here, filled with the flora and fauna of the forest.. as she stands amidst the magical place, with tender loving care, seen from her very body language and gentle expression! The animals of this forest, must trust her completely, as she does indeed seem so genuine, kind and understanding. An absolutely enchanting scene! Beautiful and masterful!

mmmm yes, I like this when the lady is clearly there but also not quite. Like a wood nymph that you almost see, or was that just the rustle of the leaves?

This is SO beautiful, Mina. Love the way her hand is just sort of nearly draped in midair. Yeah, how about that cold front? Fffs. Had to have two blankets last night. Good grief! You stay warm too, hon.

Soft and relaxing image. Thank the stars you didn't give her the commercialised pointed ears! This is precisely how I see such entities of myth in my own mind. It reminds me of parts of the Mabinogion.
