Artwork Description

Outback - Breathless by Carolyne Jane captures the vastness and raw beauty of the Australian outback. With a sweeping horizon under a pale, open sky, the piece draws the viewer into an endless expanse of rich ochres, rusts, and earthy reds. The textured brushstrokes and layered tones suggest the heat and intensity of summer, evoking a landscape both harsh and beautiful. Subtle clouds and soft atmospheric shifts in the sky balance the grounded weight of the land below, creating a sense of both openness and containment.

In the foreground, Carolyne’s expressive mark-making adds depth and energy, with bold strokes of white, dark accents, and gestural scribbles that hint at the resilience of scrub, rock, and shifting shadows on the earth. These elements bring life and movement to the otherwise still horizon, giving the viewer a sense of being both grounded in place and carried into abstraction. It is a work that captures not just the look, but also the feeling of the outback—expansive, timeless, and full of hidden stories within its layers of colour and texture.
The canvas is an original piece and comes with d rings and wire ready to hang. The piece is Unframed and sides 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.
