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.

I recall this song by Roberta Flack. A little research indicates that she wrote and sang it in response to Don McLean's "American Pie" which, of course, was about the demise of a once vibrant country and people. Fantastic heartfelt lyrics on so many levels. Excellent image dear Mina ... well done!

childoflightdesigns
WOW her expression and the blend of colors and emotion are brilliant !
mac4gman
OOHHHHH! Nice comp, and she's very easy on the eyes...but what knocks me out is that wispy, blood-spattered 'smoke flower' - it elevates the piece from nicely executed concept work to original and powerful work of art! BRAVO!
