Artwork Description

I’m drawn to the quiet beauty of the Australian countryside in this work, where rolling hills, open fields and distant trees come together in a landscape that feels both familiar and full of energy. I’ve used a warm palette of earthy greens, ochres and sunlit apricots, allowing the colours to shift and glow across the canvas. The soft sky creates a sense of space and calm, while the sweeping marks and bursts of brighter colour bring the landscape to life.

I wanted this painting to capture more than a literal view of the countryside — it’s about the feeling of being there, surrounded by open land, light and endless horizons. I’ve allowed my brushwork to remain loose and intuitive, layering expressive marks and textures to suggest the movement of grasses, the contours of the hills and the changing light across the land. For me, it is a celebration of the warmth, character and understated beauty of the Australian landscape.

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 with a very slight touch of charcoal and pastel. 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.
