Soften My Heart Silver to Black by Joan Stratton - paintingsbyjoan.com A tale of caution. She still has a heart that wants love but it is fiercely protected. Maybe it can be softened with flowers :) A heart-shaped composition of intertwined barbed wire and vibrant yellow daisies tells a story of guarded vulnerability and emotional contrast. Set against a deep black background, the silver wire casts dramatic shadows while the soft petals offer a hopeful counterpoint. This Ether Art piece by Joan Stratton explores the tension between harshness and tenderness—love and protection, beauty and pain. Digitally hand-drawn from a blank canvas, this artwork blends symbolic storytelling with bold visual contrast. Ideal for collectors drawn to expressive floral art, emotional symbolism, and modern digital illustration.
