Artwork Description

This abstract beachscape by Carolyne Jane captures the raw beauty and movement of the ocean with a striking sense of freedom. Sweeping brushstrokes carve through deep teal and turquoise waters, while foamy whites crash and curl in expressive arcs across the canvas. The horizon sits beneath a soft blue sky, calm yet expansive, creating a beautiful contrast to the powerful energy of the sea below. There is a wonderful push and pull between strength and serenity, as if the tide is both advancing and retreating at the same time.

Along the shoreline, warm sandy tones in ochre and cream meet bold gestural marks that suggest dunes, grasses, and weathered coastal paths. Pops of vibrant yellow dance across the foreground, catching the light like scattered seaweed or sunlit reflections. Carolyne’s signature mark-making brings life and immediacy to the scene, giving the viewer the feeling of standing right at the water’s edge, salt in the air and wind in their hair. It’s a piece that feels alive — fresh, spontaneous, and full of coastal spirit.
The canvas is an original piece and comes with d rings and wire ready to hang. The piece is FRAMED in a gorgeous Tassie Oak Floating Frame. The work is created in acrylic paint. All work has been sealed and varnished for protection

Artist Bio

Carolyne Jane
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.
