Artwork Description

Dolphin Point Holidays by Anica Amphlett is an original watercolour painting and is ready to hang,

Dolphin Point is a family friendly beach and inlet within Burrill Lake. We often take our van out, for a quick picnic and naturally, armed with paints and paper too. It's great watching toddlers with their parents enjoy a safe place where they can play in the water, build castles in the sand and tire out, ready for a good sleep when they get home.

This painting is framed and does not require glass, which means no reflections in the glass and a clear view, just as if you were there!
The painting is mounted to treated board, has 3 coats of UV archival spray, then double wax -varnished making it fully protected from any soiling or moisture. A laminated certificate of authenticity is attached to the back of the painting.

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 close as possible to the original painting. 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.
