Lady in Red Coat and Black Dog Yellow Sky

An evocative scene capturing the charm of urban life, brimming with warmth, colour, and nostalgic charm. Viewed from behind, a woman stands, wrapped in a vibrant, multi-coloured check coat, stands patiently on an underground station platform, her black dog sitting faithfully by her side. The crisp winter air is softened by her cosy beanie and gloves, capturing a tender moment of stillness amidst the rhythm of the city.
In front of them, a green train hums to a gentle stop, yet it’s not her train, and so her wait continues. Above, a black and white station clock reads 10:10 a.m., flanked by two station maps on a green wall. Around them, five other passengers, two women and three men, stand waiting, all wrapped in long coats, each absorbed in their own quiet existence. Together, these elements create a beautifully balanced composition that speaks to the shared experience of urban transit, where personal stories briefly intersect in the same space. Painted in a naïve, nostalgic style, this work is filled with warmth, character, and a touch of everyday poetry. It invites the viewer to pause, to feel, and to find beauty in the ordinary. A perfect piece for collectors drawn to narrative, colour, and the enduring charm of city life.
This painting has been finished in a satin varnish and comes in a wooden floating frame, ready to hang on your wall.

"The gentle ocean” is an abstract work by Carolyne Jane is a wonderful exploration of the ever-changing beauty of the ocean. Through loose and interpretive brushstrokes, the artist captures the essence of the sea with remarkable depth and fluidity as it breaks softly on the white sandy shores. The light, airy colours of light purple-blue, grey, white, and light aqua dance across the canvas, evoking the gentle ebb of the ocean surface as it froths and foams as it hits the shoreline.
Amidst the breaking sea surface pops of vibrant hues emerge, depicting points of light and colour in the ocean from an aerial perspective. These bursts of colour add an element of intrigue and mystery to the composition, drawing the viewer's gaze deeper into the painting. Against the backdrop of darker, midnight blue rocks adorned with rust and Mars violet, the contrast is striking, lending the piece a sense of balance and harmony.
The canvas is a one off 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.

In Carolyne Jane's work “A Summers Day” the canvas bursts to life with the vibrant hues reminiscent of a sun-drenched summer day. Through her expert use of color, Carolyne captures the feel of summer, weaving together gorgeous yellows, verdant greens, warm siennas, and ethereal violets. These colors dance across the canvas in a tapestry of loose, abstract brushstrokes, evoking the sensation of sunlight filtering through lush foliage.

Amidst this riot of color, a soft cerulean blue sky stretches overhead, its tones tinged with wisps of delicate white and hints of blue-green. The interplay of light is depicted, with pops of bright white lending the landscape a sense of depth and vitality. Beneath the surface, hidden depths of red oxide add richness and complexity, inviting viewers to lose themselves in the layers of Carolyne’s captivating composition.
