Beachside Embrace

Carolyne Jane’s abstract beachscape “Beachside Embrace” is a beautiful intuitive work, painted with stunning loose brushstrokes that bring a captivating sense of movement and energy to the piece. It is a wonderful and energetic piece where the exposed rocks peek just above the waterline. Rendered in a dreamy, mineral blue, the sea feels alive and tranquil, with white waves sparkling as they hit the shoreline adding a beautiful rhythm to the composition.
What truly sets this piece apart is Carolyne’s signature mark-making, an expressive element that enhances the overall texture and depth of the painting. Her unique scribbles, layered with precision, breathe life into the canvas and add a tactile quality to the water’s surface and the rocky shoreline. This feature draws the viewer’s eye across the painting, highlighting the natural beauty of the scene and making it feel dynamic and immersive.
As a statement piece, this artwork would bring a stunning elegance to any wall, inviting viewers to escape into the peaceful coastal vista it depicts.
The canvas is an original piece and comes with d rings and wire ready to hang. The piece is UNFRAMED. Sides are are painted in a crisp white to set off the artwork. The work is created in acrylic paint. All work has been sealed and varnished for protection

THE BLOCK ARTIST - 2024 and 2025

I was absolutely thrilled that two of my works were again selected to feature in this year’s series of THE BLOCK in Daylesford 2025 and last year in THE BLOCK Phillip Island 2024! It is an incredible honour to be part of such a well-loved show, and I can’t begin to express how exciting it was to see my art displayed every night during contestant interviews.

I am an abstract artist and I find incredible inspiration from the rocks and sea around Phillip Island. I am very drawn to the changing colours of the sea and the beautiful colours of the red rocks and natural diversity of the island which often tend to end up being the main subjects for my art. I have a real passion for colour and enjoy experimenting with the use of different colour combinations to create my work.

My works are totally intuitive and I pour all my energy, passion and emotion into each unique piece I create. My works are mainly acrylic with some mixed media of charcoal and pastel and I adore painting on big canvases.

My artistic Journey originally saw me working with oils creating contemporary seascapes but as my art evolved I found myself wanting to really let go and create from within. I love being able to create from something as simple as a mark on paper or a thought and let the canvas tell me what it wants.

Lately I’ve found myself going a bit wild with my brushstrokes as the crazy madness of creating takes over. My passion is colour and I love experimenting with different colour palettes which keeps my works interesting and exciting. I truely am on a journey of exploration with my work.
