sometimes I forget names, but once I hear the name, I reflect with fondness and admiration. there has been some that simply did not return to the galleries without ever knowing what became of them.

very beautiful dedication for MIna

Mina was one of the first here to ever add me to her friends list I remember Nekhbet Sun well, indeed we have lost many members and good friends over the years.

Fantastic!

You are such a good person...

Beautiful image!

Awesome scene, a wonderful tribute!

You outdid yourself on this piece. Amazing.

Oh Steve this is so special LUV it. My heart feels so heavy at the moment.Memory's of loss and beautiful people having health problem..Bless you Mike. People just gone and we don't no why..thinking of James ZigZag321 and yes many more Take care my friend Cheers

it's so special that you did this, and remembered Mina with so much love. She died on May 31st, 2010, of endometrial cancer. (In the uterus.) She'd been away from RR for year or so, and people began to suspect she wasn't well. I didn't know Mina as you and some others did, but I do so remember her exquisite alit art, her constant "BB" (blessed be) and her big, often red Huggssss; and her unbreakable spirit, how she loved so many people and so dearly. And, like you, whenever I spoke about Mina to someone who knew her, they spoke of her as this huuuuuuge spirit who touched their lives so deeply. I mean, she changed artists, she helped them find their artistic souls, she encouraged them to do their very best and fly, and to not be afraid of being airborne. She was a big, glowing fountain. (When Mina wrote, in my gallery, "you made me smile today," I knew I'd succeeded. Her affirmation was that special to all of us.) She wrote to me that she spent 3 hours each day, just commenting. Every day! She didn't miss a soul. And I remember you saying---I just don't remember where---that she helped you and encouraged you and made a difference in what you did. You're part of a blessed family. That was Mina. Do you remember her portrait? She looked like a hippie-mother to everyone. And her art was just like this background: Shimmering, overflowing and mysterious, where even her darkest pieces she had tremendous glow. (And stardust! Her world was overflowing with stardust.) It's wonderful of you to post this and remind people who never met her who she was, and the light she shed. Your woman (in your image) is a guardian of Mina's realm, with a small boat in the background, and that eternal light. Thanks, Steve. It's beautiful. I'm sure she's looking down on you, protecting you, watching out for you, and smiling each time you light someone else's light (which you do often). A beautiful memory...

And yes to Mike: I know recovery will be slow and it won't be easy. It's easy for us to send love and wishes, but he's going through the daily act of re-learning what he must re-learn; the motions, coordinations, all of it. Thanks for not letting anyone forget. He's given so much light here, he should get it back in kind. So I wish him all the strength in the world. Get well, Mike! And thanks for this upload, Steve. A wonderful memory for everyone...

Wonderful! I love the colors and the atmosphere of this.

Beautiful scene and great tribute Steve!!!

Stunning work!
