Artwork Description

"Blue Wren in Passionfruit Vine" by Anica Amphlett is an original watercolour-gouache painting and requires framing to hang.

This little blue wren, is a Superb Wren, also known as a Fairy Wren, and is part of a mini series. The series features this sweet bird in our garden, in various situations. 

In this painting, he has found himself in the Passionfruit Vine.
Back in the day, many years ago I painted on black quite a lot, and the passion has flourished again.
This Blue Wren was sitting in our Passionfruit Vine. If you're a lover of sweet little Fairy Wrens, as am I, its always a thrill to see them, whether outside or inside on your wall.

Wrens make a great gift, and this one will come packaged for giving in a supported crystal clear wrap and include a signed certificate of authenticity.

Mission: I strive to express emotion in my artwork and hope it resonates with you too. I hope that it evokes a positive feeling of joyful peace and brightens up a space in your home. My style is a combination of looseness and detail, allowing watercolour to do its magic and then adding some detail bringing the subject to life.

Images: The painting has been professionally scanned depicting the colours as true as possible. The framed image above is for illustration purposes only and all care is taken for artwork to be proportionally as correct as possible in "the in-situ" image.

Artist Bio

Born in 1963 to Slovenian parents, I divided my first 20 years between Australia and Slovenia. My love for art took root in early childhood. I vividly recall the arrival of my first mail-order acrylic paint set and a "How-to-paint" book featuring a classic lesson on painting a fruit bowl. Discouraged from pursuing Art School, I relegated my dreams to a hobby and became self-taught.

At seventeen, during a visit to Switzerland to see a friend, I found myself with only 20 Swiss Francs. I chose to invest half in paper and paints. After painting all night, I sold three paintings the next day, which luckily saved me from a bind.

I've always been drawn to a variety of mediums—oils, acrylics, gouache, pastels, and lately, watercolors. My goal? To capture both light and emotion. I recall as a teenager pondering if paint could be used in such a way that it breathes life into a canvas. This curiosity has stayed with me over time. Each medium offers a unique avenue for self-expression, yet the subtle conveyance of emotion and vitality remains my never-ending challenge and aspiration.

I am inspired by Australia's vast beauty, the diverse landscape, colourful birdlife, amazing flora and fauna! I am mesmerised by the power of the sun and am in awe of great artists both past (Vincent Van Gogh) and present such as Thomas Schwaller and Alvaro Castagnet.
