Surf Beach Blues

Carolyne Jane’s Surf Beach Blues is a stunning addition to her Beachside series, capturing the wild beauty of the ocean in all its untamed energy. The piece is alive with movement, brought to life through her signature scribbles that perfectly depict the rolling surf as it crashes onto the shore. It’s a blustery day, and you can almost feel the wind whipping across the water, carrying the scent of salt and seaweed. The sandy beach is strewn with rich, earthy tones of brown and gold-green seaweed, adding depth and contrast to the composition.
Above, the sky tells its own story, with a storm creeping in as moody gray clouds push over the soft pale blue. Carolyne’s brushwork is loose and expressive, evoking the shifting weather and the power of the ocean. The painting is both dynamic and atmospheric, inviting the viewer to experience the raw beauty of the coastline. Surf Beach is a bold and captivating statement piece, perfect for bringing the energy of the sea into any home.
The canvas has is a one off 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.

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.
