"Flannel Flowers - Nature's Comforter" by Anica Amphlett is an original watercolour painting and requires framing to hang.

I was inspired by the very delicate nature of the Australian wildflower the Flannel Flower. They grow in abundance in a special nature reserve located on the headland, overlooking the sea. They thrive in sandy soil and are quite tough, despite their ever-so soft velvety or woolly feel. The leaves as well as the flowers have tiny little hairs all over them, that give them this special indulgent sensation.

I have painted the Flannel Flowers in an atmospheric way using lots of lost and found edges within the painting to maintain the softness that I desired. The colours are soft and muted and have a calming effect.

Did you know that according to Mental Health Australia, Flannel Flowers are Australia's national symbol promoting mental health awareness.

As these gentle, delicate native flowers need to adapt to their often-harsh environment to survive, so do we humans need to adapt and be resilient in the face of adversity to maintain good mental health.

Mission: I strive to express emotion in my artwork and hopes it resonates with you too, I hope it evokes a positive feeling of joyful peace and lifts a special spot 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.
