"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.

Vertical paint drips subtly extend downward, reinforcing the sense of fluidity and organic movement. The interplay between structured texture and soft blending creates a dynamic yet tranquil composition. The overall effect is ethereal and atmospheric, evoking a dreamlike landscape where air and earth seem to merge in a delicate, harmonious dance.
