Snowy Egret, Pastel by Jenna Star

A snowy egret searches the shoreline along the Gulf of Mexico near sunset. These egrets have black legs and bright yellow feet. I think one of the most amazing things about Florida is the great variety of birds here. And if you know me at all, you know I love birds.
Sorry for the long lag between my art postings recently. I've moved and am going through all the extra work that entails. Still painting often, but getting them up on the internet has dropped way back.

Country Store

" Country Store" by Jenna Star. This store is one of the many restored old Florida buildings that are a part of Heritage Village in Largo. I've spent a lot of time painting there. I painted this on site a few months back, but was never happy with the sitting figure. I put the painting away for a while and recently got it out and touched up the man again. I like it now.

Palm by the Bay

Palm by the Bay by Jenna Star

I painted this view in Phillipe Park, looking south across Tampa Bay. It was a really hot day. I found a spot of shade and breeze, set up my gear, and got into the zone. I am inspired by nature and that is where I find peace.

Roseate Spoonbills, Pastel, by Jenna Star

Two roseate spoonbills graze along a mangrove bayou on the west coast of Florida. I have only seen spoonbills twice in the three years I've been here. They are becoming more and more uncommon. When I heard there were some nearby, I rode my bicycle there and took some photos. I painted the bayou en plein air, and added the spoonbills later from my photo.

Four Trees

Four Trees by Jenna Star

This is a pastel I did near Lake Tarpon. Most of it was done in plein air, but it got so hot and humid I finished it later in my studio. It is getting very uncomfortable out now -- well it is July in west Florida after all! Always trying to find places that have a sea breeze and shade......

Back at the Ranch

Oil on Canvas, 9x12

$200



I painted this one mostly on location at a friend's ranch in Florida. The air was very heavy and sticky and we were hoping for rain after a long dry period here. Thunder and lightening came along and I packed up, but no significant rainfall came that day. I finished this in the studio later.

Late Day on the Canal, Oil, 9x12

I painted these cheerful little houses from my backyard. It was late in the day and I was struck by the way the sun shone between them. They are located on a deep canal that runs out to the Gulf of Mexico. It has always been a dream of mine to live in a little cottage by the sea and I am grateful every time I look out and see the water. I know I am lucky to be here.

Osprey's Nest, Oil, 9x12

There are many osprey nests here on the Gulf Coast. Some are built on top of tall electrical poles or towers along the roads. This one is on Honeymoon Island, a haven for birds and nature. It's one of my favorite places to paint. The ospreys here find dead trees with no blocking foliage around, to build their large nests. Sometimes an immature bald eagle (all brown)will fly up to check them out, and the ospreys shriek and chase him away.

I painted these colorful houses during the Concorso Rapido -- a one day paintout competition in Dunedin FL.
