Barbed Hearts and Bush Blooms A Farmers Valentine by Joan Stratton - paintingsbyjoan.com Three hearts hang from wire, shaped not with silk but steel - a tribute built from the very stuff of farm life. Each one is adorned with yellow field daisy flowers, soft against the barbs, like love blooming where it’s least expected. The backdrop is a quiet bush scene, blue-toned and serene, where trees stand like witnesses to this unexpected gesture. It’s not polished. It’s not perfect. But it’s real, and that’s the point. This piece was created as a surprise Valentine’s gift from a farmer to his wife, a nod to the life they’ve built together, full of grit, grace, and golden moments. The barbed wire speaks of hard work and resilience; the flowers, of tenderness and joy. The farmers Tribute is a love letter strung across wire. The hearts, shaped from barbed wire strands and softened with yellow blooms, speak of devotion forged in grit. It’s a Valentine’s surprise that stands proud, like the man who made it.

Summer Light Through Spotted Gums Benalla Bush Film Look by Joan Stratton - paintingsbyjoan.com A soft vignette wraps the scene, the kind you’d find in an old photo album, edges faded but the feeling still vivid. Beyond the fence line, black-faced sheep graze in golden grass, and the distant Reef Hills State Park near Benalla, Victoria, Australia, rise like a quiet chorus. It’s a moment from summer, full of warmth and stillness. The Corymbia maculata trees stand tall, their speckled bark catching the light in textured patches. The film-look finish adds a nostalgic softness, as if the land itself is remembering. Inspired by my sister’s family farm in North East Victoria, this piece captures the hush of late summer, where the bush glows, the sheep wander, and the sky stretches wide. Tall eucalyptus trees stand in the foreground with a sunlit forest in the distance. The sky above is partly cloudy, adding a serene atmosphere.

Australian Spotted Gum Trees Overlooking The Station Flatlands by Joan Stratton - paintingsbyjoan.com A quiet lookout, dawn between nature's ancient sentinels. Two spotted gums stand like gatekeepers to the horizon, their mottled bark catching the first blush of the rising sun's light.

At One With Nature A Horse Named Blue by Joan Stratton - paintingsbyjoan.com In this portrait of him, he stands not apart from nature, but within it.

Foggy Morning Australian Bush Farming by Joan Stratton - paintingsbyjoan.com Quiet, moody, and full of soft tension. The fog rolls in like a whisper, softening the edges of the bush and muting the morning light.

Golden Swallowtail in the Spiral Wind by Joan Stratton - paintingsbyjoan.com In folklore, the swallowtail butterfly is a messenger - a creature of transformation, grace, and fleeting beauty. This golden-winged beauty floats through a spiral wind, her flight etched in metallic shimmer and shadow. She carries stories in her wings: of change, of memory, of the quiet strength it takes to rise. The swirling circles behind her echo ancient rhythms, like ripples in time or the continuous breath of the wind made visible, a dance of circles over stone that echoes transformation and timelessness. Her companion flutters nearby, a smaller echo of her journey. Together they drift through a space where nature meets abstraction, where gold meets green, and movement becomes myth. This piece feels like a moment suspended between worlds: delicate yet powerful, soft yet enduring. A visual whisper of transformation, resilience, and the joy of simply being. A striking butterfly with gold and dark green wings is surrounded by swirling abstract circles. The background features textured gray blocks.
