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 think you may have to tie yourself to your branch, so you don't keep falling off, Mina. :D This is another very impressive work. It is lovely and my first reaction was seeing it in the light of love. However, there is something about her facial expression that has an almost ominous appearance to it. Almost like anyone responding with a kiss is in for a big surprise. It has an Alfred Hitchcock feel to it. I love A.H. So this is a wonderfully tempting image. Hugs, Suzanne

Terrific work! So fresh...

She is tempting, intriguing and somehow haunting. Can't help but wonder what is on the other side of the kiss. CC

Now I've got "Gimme Shelter" rolling through my mind. Congrats on the art charts - Number 8 - Wow! That is a truly awesome result. You rock, my friend! (But I already knew that.) :) This is a lovely image. I like the muted color pallet, and the composition is awesome. Nice work!

One would think with that title, she would look enticing .. and she does, until you look into her eyes .. then it gets a little freaky. Her eyes are cold and hungry. You always manage to get a twist in your works. This one is beautiful, and deserves to get on the charts too! Congratulations on making the charts with Fragile things, that one was awesome also!
