Description

In 2017 during the Sandhill Cranes' Migrations across Nebraska, I donated this Silk painting to the Audubon's Rowe Sanctuary near Kearney Nebraska. I travel there nearly every spring to view the mighty cranes. They give me such pleasure to watch them perform the dances merely because they love to dance.

Sandhill Cranes Dance- the Male Bird on Right- Is in a Bow, the female on the Left is doing a Curtsey- Handpainted with steamset dyes, no resist used. Sandhill Crane body language is ongoing daily with nine distinct displays,showing arousal, and recruits others to dance. During the Dance- Pre- Adult Cranes, will practice dancing for years until they select a mate. Adult cranes dance for each other facilitating bonding, allows rivals to asses one another. Parents educate their young chicks and adolescents by dancing with them. It is believed they will also dance just because they are happy and enjoying life. There are 19 different displays for the Dance. Sandhill Cranes do not necessarily mate for life, but their family and young may stay together for several years before the pre adults leave the family and group with other teenagers.

This original is a hanging silk panel only- it. This Painting was part of an Exhibition at the Ratner Museum, in Bethesda Mayland, July 2013 for a year, as an exhibiting member of SPIN, (Silk Painters International) Silk Panel Exhibit. This was the final exhibit SPIN participated in at the Ratner Museum.
