Artwork Description

Carolyne Jane’s *The Dry Land* is a captivating abstract piece that beautifully captures the essence of the Australian summer landscape. The painting’s light blue sky, almost translucent, evokes a sense of vast openness and warmth. Beneath the sky, rich tones of ochres, red oxide, and Australian sienna sweep across the canvas, evoking the dry, sun-scorched earth typical of rural Australia in the summer. The balance between the sky and the land creates a contrast that draws the viewer in, emphasizing both the softness of the atmosphere and the rugged beauty of the land.
Carolyne’s signature mark-making adds a distinct sense of depth and texture to the piece, providing structure amidst the sweeping colors. The marks offer just enough definition to give a sense of form while maintaining the painting's abstract nature. Despite its simplicity, *The Dry Land* is visually striking, using minimal elements to make a powerful statement. Its combination of earthy colours and airy composition makes it both a serene and commanding presence, perfect for any space.
The simplicity of the composition adds to its striking impact, making it a captivating focal point in any room.
The canvas is an original piece and comes with d rings and wire ready to hang.. 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.
