Cranes-Not Talking | Large
Let This Painting's Story â Touch Your Own!
âïž From My Personal Journal
Â
This one made me smile before I even dipped a brush.
I had this mental imageâtwo majestic birds, perched just inches apart, surrounded by calm⊠but not saying a word. No fight, no tensionâjust distance. A kind of quiet that felt so familiar.
Weâve all seen it before. Maybe even lived it. That moment where connection hangs by a thread of silence. You care. Youâre close. But something's off. Something's unspoken.
Thatâs exactly what I wanted to paint. Not a scene from nature, but a feeling from life.
I started with the cranes. Elegant. Upright. Still. Each one with a presence of its ownâbut both ever so slightly turned away. That angle was everything. The way their bodies curved apart, like two thoughts headed in different directions. I painted their crowns bright with a soft, almost regal glowâas if they still held dignity, even in their silence.
Then came the branch. Twisting, tangled, aged. I imagined it like a shared history. Strong enough to hold them both, but gnarled with time, bends, storms weathered.
The blossoms were nextâthose bursts of yellow warmth. Tiny flickers of hope, still blooming despite the distance. They softened the scene. They reminded me that even in silence, beauty grows.
And then⊠the sky. That pale wash of gray with shadows creeping in. It wasnât sadness I was paintingâit was pause. A moment suspended in time. That space between words. The kind of silence that isnât empty⊠itâs full. Full of meaning. Full of what we havenât said yet.
I called it Cranes Not Talking not because theyâre brokenâbut because theyâre real.
To me, this painting holds that quiet tension we all know. Between lovers, friends, family. Between who we were and who weâre becoming.
And maybe, just maybe⊠it reminds us that silence can be sacred, too.
Sometimes whatâs not said is exactly what we need to hear.
