Artwork Description

In Edge of the Quiet Land, Carolyne Jane captures a vast, open landscape distilled into feeling rather than form. The soft expanse of pale blue sky stretches endlessly, gently meeting a warm, glowing horizon of peach and ochre that suggests heat, distance, and the quiet hum of the Australian terrain. Her brushwork remains loose and expressive, allowing the land to emerge through gesture and tone rather than precise detail. The composition feels both grounded and fleeting, as though the scene could shift with the passing light at any moment.

Through layered textures and intuitive mark-making, the foreground comes alive with earthy yellows, muted greens, and deeper, anchoring tones that bring balance and depth. Subtle details like the suggestion of distant birds add a quiet narrative without disrupting the stillness. Carolyne’s signature style is evident in the way she allows space and movement to coexist, creating a work that feels contemplative, raw, and deeply connected to the essence of place. It is a landscape not just seen, but felt—an intimate reflection of solitude, memory, and the beauty of the in-between.

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.

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.
