Starfish – Original Watercolour Painting

Starfish on Teignmouth Beach – Original Watercolour by Clare Jenkinson

This original watercolour by Devon artist Clare Jenkinson captures a fleeting moment from the shoreline of Teignmouth. While walking along the beach one morning, Clare discovered a group of five starfish that had been washed ashore by the tide. Sadly, they could not be returned to the sea, but the encounter inspired her to preserve their beauty through art and painted a lovely starfish painting.

Drawn to the intricate forms, textures and subtle colours of these remarkable sea creatures, Clare spent time studying them closely before creating this detailed painting. The artwork thoughtfully depicts both sides of the starfish, revealing details that are rarely seen and celebrating the extraordinary beauty that can be found in nature’s smallest treasures.

Known for her love of observational drawing and her fascination with the natural world, Clare brings a sense of quiet reflection to this piece. The painting invites the viewer to pause and appreciate the delicate patterns, textures and rhythms that exist all around us, often unnoticed.

Perfect for lovers of coastal art, marine life and the Devon coastline, this original watercolour would make a beautiful addition to any home. It is a piece that not only captures the beauty of the sea but also tells the story of a brief encounter between artist and nature—a moment that might otherwise have been lost to the tide. Read more about the Teignmouth and Devon artist Clare Jenkinson or you can explore Clare Jenkinson’s nature inspired artwork.
