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 like the frame, sets it off nicely.

Nice frame and composition and the girl doesn't look quite so discontented now. I mean, how can anyone be discontented when confronted with a rose. :-) Well done dearest Mina. HUGS

I like this one too! (What a surprise!) :) Hmmm ... let's see ... I've got three windows open, and have been flipping back and forth between all three. (I'm not a Libra, just an accountant! LOL!) I still like the fragmented edginess of the first one. It seems to show more discontent - it has more energy. The soft red tint on #3 gives this a nice feel, but you do lose some of the wintery feel when the blue goes away. I can't decide. They're all perfect! I can see why you couldn't choose just one. Thanks for going to the trouble to post 'em all!

HUGs! It's never a bore to see your work ;) I like the lace frame and the rose on this one, and the blue tint of the last one. Gives it more of a winter feel. Sometimes I'll do several variations of an image, and sometimes I'll try the same idea in a couple of different mediums just to see what happens. Man I miss having a real studio to work in...ARGGGG! Have a great and prosperous year.
