Peregian Beach Sunset

This painting was inspired by a beautiful sunset at the beach we used to go to when my boys were younger. It is a lovely little spot in Queensland called ‘Peregian Beach’. This is the southern access and we used to call it ‘Luna’s Beach’ named after our dog. My heart and soul belong here along with so many fond memories.
I wanted to capture the soft pink, peach and lilac tones that were reflected in the afterglow as the sun sets on the other side. I used a mixture of burnt sienna, magenta, rose pink and lilac for the sky and reflections and the ocean is a soft aqua blue and green.
On the sand there are some coffee rocks close to the edge of the tide and the colourful sand track is welcoming the viewer down to the beach. On one side there is a Pandanas palm with colourful sunset reflections.
I hope you will love this scene as much as I loved spending many days here. It has been painted with love and passion.
I used mostly a palette knife technique along with some blending brushes.

This painting would add a feeling of warmth and peacefulness to any room.

It has 4cm thick painted edges, a gloss vanish and is ready to hang. It comes with a COA and is signed on the front and back.

Shauna Jenkins is a painter residing in Noosa Heads, Queensland. She primarily paints seascapes using acrylics and oils on stretched canvas. Her current style is semi abstract textured and expressive. Shauna creates her paintings from colour visions and emotions, as well as from gaining inspiration from her surrounding local beaches and rivers. From stormy skies and crashing waves to sunsets over calm seas, her seascapes capture the beauty, mystery and tranquility of the ocean. Light and colour reflections are the central focus of Shauna's paintings. She uses a mixture of textures, layers, palette knife, sponge and blending brushwork techniques

Shauna grew up in Geelong, near The Great Ocean Road, Victoria. She has always had a deep connection and feeling towards nature, noticing beauty and colour in her surroundings. The passion in her paintings stems from fond childhood memories of days spent at the beach with her family. Shauna spent much of her childhood expressing her love of nature through drawings and paintings. She experienced a great sadness as a child with the loss of her mother and is grateful to have always had art as an outlet for her emotions.

Shauna majored in art and children’s literature during her teaching degree at Deakin University in Melbourne. She became a teacher-librarian for many years, where she could share her love of children’s literature, creative writing and illustration. After moving to Noosa in 2013, with her husband, Anthony and their two boys, Shauna taught creative writing and art classes. Her passion to start painting again began to emerge from being immersed in her beautiful surroundings. In 2022, Shauna and Anthony undertook a new venture, managing a holiday resort on the Noosa River, where they currently reside - a perfect place for inspiration for her paintings.

Shauna now spends her free time painting from her home studio. Her skill and passion have grown with experimentation, patience and determination. Her canvas paintings flow freely in an uninterrupted, intuitive manner. Painting has become an essential part of Shauna's life and brings her passion, purpose and joy. Shauna hopes to share the beauty and magic of nature with others to help calm or brighten their home or work spaces.

Shauna currently has paintings on exhibit at the following local Art Galleries:
The Cooroy Butter Factory and
Yandina Art Gallery

Shauna has completed many privately commissioned paintings.
