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.

Mina, this is so lovely! This entire image is so emotionally charged, that the viewer can't help but being enveloped in this feeling of the moment. The touch with the blue eyes is so beautiful, so soft and subtle....... and the very colour you've chosen seems to portray and enhance the idea of sadness, as her eyes seem to be filled with water and tears. Beautiful expression, my Dear Friend. An exquisite masterpiece, as usual!

Reminds me of the mood of my youth, that longing in her eyes, without knowing what you was longing for...just something. Gorgeous capture of this mood Mina!

A wonderful example of artwork at its best, you have texture, excellent lighting, and to add a bit more interest relieved the sepia toned work with a hint of blue in the models eyes, Superb work Mina, take care, hugs Jane xx
