Beachside Tidal

"Beachside Tidal" by Carolyne Jane is a striking abstract work that captivates viewers with its simple yet striking construction. Using loose strong brushstrokes the work conveys a moody sky of light grey storm clouds, set against a softer blue-grey background. This contrast gives the impression of a storm clearing, with the subtle changes in tone highlighting the interplay between light and shadow.
As the tide recedes from the shoreline Carolyne Jane captures the magic with her bold strokes, suggesting the powerful yet calming retreat of the ocean. Carolyne Jane’s strong use of mark-making conveys the natural elements of seaweed revealed on the rocks as the tide withdraws with the breaking waves crashing against the rocks adding a sense of movement, grounding the abstract piece in the beauty of nature.

The canvas is a one off 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.
