The barbed wire speaks of hard work and resilience; the flowers, of tenderness and joy. The farmer's Tribute is a love letter strung across wire.

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.

Created using my Ether Art technique - hand-drawn digitally from a blank canvas - it blends expressive abstraction with storytelling and vibrant detail.

Available across fine art prints, canvases, puzzles, apparel, and home décor.
