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.

This is fabulous Mina a really amazing creation. The BG was from Dorothy 'Larparmit', she was giving a number away free. I may use some myself too, for a change soon with my dogs and cats. Great artwork Mina, hugs Jane xx

The difference between the light on the woman and the light in the scene makes me think she's burst forth from another dimension, bringing an otherworldly light with her. Beautiful!

This is very dreamlike - the blue mist and stars are such a nice element. Beautiful image. CC

I love what shadownet wrote for this image, it is so perfect! Love the scene, a little bit mystical, a lot beautiful, and perhaps just a teensy bit of underlying evil lurking about .. as if the mists could turn any second .. awesome
