Whimsy in the Wild Colourful Platypus by Joan Stratton - paintingsbyjoan.com The platypus is one of nature’s most delightful contradictions, a creature with the bill of a duck, the tail of a beaver, and the feet of an otter. In Aboriginal Dreamtime stories, the platypus was born from a forbidden love between a water rat and a duck, a symbol of unity and uniqueness. It reminds us that beauty often lies in the unexpected. This piece captures that joyful spirit: a vibrant platypus rendered in radiant reds, blues, greens, and golds, waddling through a splash of surreal colour. Its shadow anchors it to the earth, but its palette feels like a dream. It’s curious, confident, and unapologetically original. It feels like laughter in motion. Like the joy of being different. Like a wink from the wild. Created using my Ether Art technique — hand-drawn digitally from a blank canvas — this piece blends expressive abstraction with storytelling and vibrant rhythm. Whimsy in the Wild Colourful Platypus is perfect for lovers of Australian wildlife, whimsical creatures, and joyful design. Available across fine art prints, canvases, puzzles, apparel, and home décor. Loaded without a background so you can choose your own colour on products :) Explore more expressive Aussie animals and nature-inspired art in my gallery at: https://joan-stratton.pixels.com/collections/animals
