Crimson Bottlebrush - Framed

Crimson Bottlebrush by Anica Amphlett is an original watercolour painting and is ready to hang,

This is the first in a mini series of Australian Native flora in watercolour. I love our native flowers and the way they adorn our parks and gardens.
The painting is fully framed, ready to hang with the added benefit of no glass. This means there is no glass to break, no reflections to look at, just a clear view that will sing whever you place your painting.

Mounted to gator board, it will never warp. Fully protected against moisture, dirt and dust and super lightweight. Framed in a 2cm wide and deep wooden oyster-finish frame.

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: For best screen viewing, the painting has been professionally scanned depicting the colours as true as possible.
Shipping:

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.
