Companions in Silence – Original Watercolor Painting by Irina Bakumenko

Sometimes I don’t paint a place or a memory —
I paint myself through symbols and shapes.
🐕 The Australian Shepherd stands for my grounded, caring self —
the one who protects, creates, and holds space.
🕊 The Heron is my quiet, observing soul —
the one who sees deeply, feels gently, and breathes light.

This painting is about inner balance.
About the quiet presence between action and stillness.
About two beings who live within me —
walking side by side,
in silence.
