Artwork Description

"Port Macquarie Breakwall Promenade" by Anica Amphlett is an original watercolour painting and requires framing to hang.

Our holiday has taken us through Port Macquarie and what a delight it was. The Breakwall Promenade was an eye opener and the subject of my latest painting. The "Little Shack" Cafe situated on a prominent corner of the pathway was buzzing with guests, great coffee and snacks. To one side of the Cafe, the Breakwall boasted numerous painted rocks, that went for as far as the eye could see. The paintings on the rocks were of a memorial nature for lives lost, for holiday makers, for special events and for anyone who wanted to make a mark for all times sake. Giant Norfolk Pines were in the background and if you look closely you'll see the roofs of some of the holiday cottages too.

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 that it brightens up 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.

Shipping: This painting will be sent in a flat pack and include a signed certificate of authenticity. Sent with Australia Post, fully insured requiring a signature upon receipt.

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.
