Starfish II – Original Watercolour Painting by Clare Jenkinson
Sometimes the most memorable moments in nature happen unexpectedly. While walking along Teignmouth Beach one quiet morning, Devon artist Clare Jenkinson came across five beautiful starfish that had been washed ashore by the tide. Although they could no longer be returned to the sea, the discovery inspired Clare to capture their quiet beauty in this original watercolour.
Taking time to carefully observe each starfish, Clare painted both their upper and lower surfaces, revealing the intricate textures, gentle colours and remarkable details that are so often overlooked. Her patient, observational approach allows the viewer to appreciate these fascinating sea creatures in an entirely new way.
The painting reflects Clare’s lifelong fascination with the natural world and her ability to transform fleeting moments into lasting works of art. It celebrates the delicate beauty of the Devon coastline while encouraging us to slow down and notice the extraordinary details that nature quietly offers.
Beautifully painted in watercolour, this original artwork would make a wonderful addition to any coastal home or a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves marine life, Devon’s beaches or original British art. It is both a celebration of nature and a lasting reminder that even the briefest encounters can leave a lasting impression.
