Whooping Cranes

Two whooping cranes alight in a lush, colorful garden, marking the commencement of our shared journey. The canvas is richly textured with a base layer of romantic-era sheet music and poetry, over which my husband inscribed intimate love letters, his handwriting becoming a hidden foundation of devotion. As symbols of partnership, fidelity, and the rare beauty of commitment, the cranes embody the delicate process of learning a new environment and a new love in symbiotic harmony. This painting captures the courageous first step of nurturing a life together, discovering the habits of each other and the garden they will grow.
