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.

Divine. This reminds me of some of the building paintings in Central Philadelphia! They could learn from you on how to make them even more beautiful!

A haunting and fascinating piece of art. It is filled with a sadness and yet is has compassion woven within its threads. Awesome work.

Mmmm wonderful Hun, love the feeling so very much.

Of course this is a vivid visual pun as you have projected the image of a living woman on a hard archetectural scene. Her colors blend perfectly into the landscape and her eyes have the haunted look of one who has lived through tough times. It is a well named subject.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE, Mina. I love how her eye matches up with the empty window, that's SO neat. Beautiful as always, my friend. FAV!
neoexcello
Oh, it's so great because of the wires travelling outward, following her gaze. What a terrific 'fooling around'.

Beautiful and cool work, Sugar plum. Love the grunchy look of it. But it also has a strong expressive atmosphere. A bit of a sad mood. Perfect choice of colouring for this. Fantastic idea and craftsmanship. Your style rocks.
