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.

Always a pleasure to look at your images Thanx!!!!! you did great!!

You did an amazing job of conveying the emotion... and I know that it is so true because all this month it has been the emotion dominating my life and it just goes on forever... and I wish sometimes I could just go to sleep and not wake up for a very long time.... because that would seem like the fastest and least painful way to get through it.

Wonderful piece, Sugar plum. Love the surface of the image... Almost looks like it is made with a fork, on an old metal plate. Very cool and rustic touch. Jesse is a nice model.. she has a very melancholic expression here. Nice and sensitive work. Great sepia+blue eyes. Long live ole William. #;oD

Too right, Mina - and you've captured it so well! I think it should be "S--o-o-o-o Long" or "Eternal" - but you know how picky I can be...;^O

Oh stop being sad, I told you I'd be back, just cause I haven't posted yet this year - lol looks great with the blue eyes - maybe a little greyer would of given a sadder feel - my opinion and I'm stick'n to it - lol I like this.
