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
Ă‚Â 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.

Gorgeous! I wish I could come up with enough creative things to say that would match the degree of creativity you show in your work! However, words fail. My experience of viewing your art is always so much more involved than I can express in a brief comment. "Ooooohh! Pretty!" just doesn't do this justice. :)
DeathTwister
Wow you create such an interesting concepts and ideas mixed in such wonderful ways, each one of your creations takes my breath away, Wow....catching breath...and I think you are one of the great artists of our time and would love to see this stuff printed on canvass one day, when you get rich and famous hahaha /winks. Easy 10 slam dunk Oh but can only give a 5 bummer.

Love the dreamy, misty feeling of this.. in lack of better words. Sometimes it's not easy to express what you really feel in a foreign language. Nevertheless - this is exquisite!

Ein Traum, ein Traum ist unser Leben Auf Erden hier. Wie Schatten auf den Wolken schweben Und schwinden wir. Und messen unsre trägen Tritte Nach Raum und Zeit; Und sind (und wissen's nicht) in Mitte Der Ewigkeit.. Johann Gottfried Herder Excellent work dearest Mina. HUGS

Very beautifully done!!!

Excuisite! Your style, pure Mina, is full of romance, longing, tragic and all other nuances of feelings. Low in voice and high in beauty.

Wow, Mina! I'd give this one a ten if I could. Love the old worn out mood in this and the subtle parts in this. Are there 2 or 3 eyes here?

I love Franz Lizst! But on to this image...this is a fantastic, beautifully textured and wonderfully moody piece of work! Oh, it's quite inspiring and I'm glad to see it. I LOVE the textures and the stuff you hae to actually look for in this image...there's so much EVERYWHERE in here and that's always a great thing! Fantastic, moody, rich, work!
robotalk
Beautiful feel and design to your glorious art ---and thanks for the facts--that has always been a classic favorite ...but one thing i tried very hard to do --is NOT get on Franz Liebstraum's Liszt !

Great subtleness in your imagery - very nice earth tone coloration too.
