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.

You have her at the peak of benefit of hours and at the point she must either degrade or a approach a renewal. The clock has ended for the background.

Oooh .. waiting for the midnight hour .. waiting for the ghosts of those loved ones that have gone on, who have left her behind, alone .. lonely. The ravens are there to guide her, perhpas to facilitate the meeting, or are they souls of the departed? Are they too waiting for the magical hour?

Very Other worldly and almost un-dead. Like imagery from Purgatory. I like your more dark images. Sorry we have last touch over the last year (or 2 or 3?) I have been through some dark valley's which brought me to the brink of oblivion. Trying to find peace these days through the constant hell. This is a song from my web site. I don't know if you knew this but I am gothic musician. My vocals & lyrics... Sunset.mp3 - Steven P. Dargis
