We are sisters, Julia and Anastasia Vanderbyl. A few years ago, we began a journey to live a life in perfect harmony with nature. A life of caring for animals, growing fruit, planting trees, gardening, cooking, creating, building and learning to live with the land. In this time, nature has taught us more than we could have ever imagined.
Our environmental films document the landscape, the lessons we’ve learnt and our work as regenerative farmers here on Bundjalung Country. We live on the land of the Arakwal and Minjungbal People of the Bundjalung Nation. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Country we live on and recognise their continuing connection to the land and waters. We thank them for protecting this rainforest and its ecosystems since time immemorial.

Julia, watching you paint is always mesmerizing and it was so wonderful hearing your voice in this video! I hope to continue hearing your thoughts in the future! I think most of us viewers support what your family does to heal your corner of the world, but I hope you all recognize that sharing your journey and thoughts has exponentially more impact. I’m sure you all must feel pressure to produce and post a video every week and I think most of your subscribers realize that other life events sometimes take priority. I’m grateful, and I’m sure many more of your subscribers are as well, for the positive impact your videos provide personally, environmentally, and culturally. Your loving embrace of the world is a real treasure. It’s another way of saying what Louis Armstrong said in his song, “What a Wonderful World”.

Your love for animals and beauty of nature is also amazing
It most be so refreshing swimming in those pools when the day is hot. Julia's art is beautiful, she so manages to capture Anastasia's essence. It's nice to see her becoming more confident about speaking to camera too. Thank you once again for immersing us in your life and experience.

Love the way you paint, just seems like sooo much freedom in each brushstroke.
My world stops when your videos appear. They are special.
When I watch one of your videos, it's like eating a delicious meal, after a long illness, when you had no appetite. Then all of a sudden you are ravenous. Your views of the rainforest truly quench my hunger and leave me full and satiated! As we approach winter here in the States, it's so nice to share YOUR approaching summer. AND so blessed I feel that Julia is sharing her love for Anastasia in her painting. Wonderful! Thanks guys!🌹🌹🌹❤

Always such a beautiful story. Yes, there is a time to work and a time to rest. Love the painting!
Best part of my week and day together. I noticed you published this weeks video at the same time as I settled down with my afternoon coffee. I enjoyed both together.
Your painting is awesome to watch it come to life. Absolutely amazing to see the beauty of life around you both. ❤ Every single moment is precious. Thanks for sharing your time and your animals with us. It is a delightful experience to be able to enjoy the many different blessings that exist in life. I am very grateful for your posting.
You 2 are so talented!!! Thank you for sharing your passions with us! Love you ladies!
Julia! How wonderful to see you painting again and hear you narrate your story in finding the inspiration. And Anastasia is such a great inspiration to have around, truly. To see brush strokes on a canvas slowly come to life the way you do it is almost magical. Whenever I, myself, need inspiration, I just open Mother The Mountain Farm and there it is. Thank you both so very much. And thanks to the lady behind the camera as well. 💚💚.

Awesome video, Julia your painting makes me feel so calm and happy.. You have a gift that is so appreciated by me and hopefully others. 💗
That's such a stoning art work painting so beautiful picture 🥰💝💝💞
Thanks to you young ladies for sharing beauty, creation and wisdom with this chaotic world. You offer so much to those willing to listen.....
Me encanta ver a estas dos hermanas tan unidas en amor, me hace recordar mi niñez cuando nos decian que eramos melosos y dulces; me la pasaba abrazado con mis hermanos y hermanas. Me encanta abrazar y mimar a las personas de una forma muy respetuosa y amable. Besos llenos de ternura para ustedes y sus hermosos animales
I wish I could lay down on that rock beside that waterfall and just rest peacefully with the birds in the background oh my word
Julia truly is gifted amazing woman you both are living a dream right now and have the rest of your life ahead of you God bless and safe journey ❤️
Thanks for sharing your life with us. Love you kids and mom too.
I love to watch you paint...so calming
Congratulations ..now you are reaching 550 subscribers because of your beautiful vieos
Julia, It is such a wonderful treat to watch you paint. You are so elegant in your demeanor and your paintings are so exquisite 💕💕💕 And of course Anastasia is the perfect beautiful model 💕💕💕 10:04 I think this clip of you spending a peaceful moment picking flowers, you just look so peaceful and lovely. It would make a great painting as well 😉💖
Hi Julia, I have a request - can you make a video about your painting journey? (How you started, some of your favourite pieces etc, tips for oil painting and beginner artists etc?) Maybe Anastasia can add in her making clothes journey too!
When you two are near water, you are like a couple of mermaids, with legs. - Julia, I have asked this question before, have you ever thought about selling your paintings or displaying them in an art gallery? I think they would sell, the one you did in this video is so recognisable who it is, they are that good. Love to you both not forgetting your mother, from Mike. ❤
Stunning Painting,every brush stroke is done with Passion.....
Awesome and relaxing video! So beautiful nature around! Thanks for sharing! Have a great day
HELLO JULIA I LOVED LISTENING TO YOUR VOICE AND I RELAXED WATCHING YOU PAINTING YOU DO IT WONDERFULLY

Australia is a very beautiful counrty ..I love it and want to visit and see the whole country if possible
Life is beautiful everywhere and everything you all do in your videos. Julies paintings are fantastic and capture the essence of Anastasia.
Nature always balances the soul and both of you are beautiful souls grounded to mother Earth. It's very relaxing to watch you paint.
Thank you so much for another wonder video. I send you three ladies lots of love from Bristol Bay Alaska.
New subs here!!! And watching all there vedio from the start. It helps me with my anxiety both girls are beautiful inside and out 😊😍💕 Love from philippines.
Your words are soothing and your sisters paint stroke is so sensual . As a man I’m always concerned about what I say, for fear of people twisting my word around, for texting is just words without emotion and not all view word in the same context. For whatever that’s worth. Anyway,I always enjoy the sounds of the jungle/rainforest and it always makes me smile when I hear y’all hollering for the goats and sheep. Keep up the hard work and thanks for another chapter.
If one could only stop time at moments like this.
I was lucky to grow up in the Highlands of Scotland where tranquility, serenity, and the pure beauty of nature taught me how to find happiness in life and in the silence of eternity. You and your sister remind me deeply of this! As my Father used to say every flower is a soul blossoming in nature and your family is embracing those souls! Thank you so much for sharing
The water is so clear I love it 😍😘
The world would be a better place if everyone could live like you two and your Mother. Such a beautiful life you live.
I was mesmerised watching your brushstrokes. I love how your big, bold strokes almost make me wonder, how this will come together. But as always, it does. A beautiful painting with flow and a beautiful story to move along side it!! ❤
I love both of you, you two are such a nice and kind person.
Thank you for your nice and calming videos. They always gives me a warm feeling. I live in southern Finland. We have snow on the ground and temperature right now is -2'C. I'm a summer person, so I wish I could be there right now. Have a great rest of the year.
