Dust & Ember: Nina Meehan's Picks

This curation is a tonal exploration of warmth, texture, and quiet intensity. Think ochre, rust, and honeyed hues - artworks that feel like golden hour made permanent.

Carolyne Jane’s *Once Upon a Time* 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, *Once Upon a Time* 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.
