Tennessee Cove

12" by 16" oil on canvas panel. Studio painting from photos. Tennessee Cove is just north of the Marin Headlands in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. It is only accessible by a 2 mile walk from the bay to the Pacific Ocean at the north end of Sausalito.

Comment by Lori Ippolito on August 18, 2013 at 1:35: What a beautiful place to live!! I'm in the middle of concrete but for a lovely park system in town.

Comment by Stuart J. Gourlay on August 17, 2013 at 17:50: Thanks Lori. This beach is just North of the Golden Gate and a great 1.5 mile easy walk from the ranger station just a mile in from Sausalito. I shot this photo in late November; this is typical weather then--not warm but not cold and nice skies with no fog. Nice time of year on the California Coast. My outdoor painting friend who just joined this site, but not the workshops (yet), Katie Herzog, just posted a painting looking toward that big bluff from just South of here "Ft Cronkite Winter". Nice blue calm pacific ocean. Our stormy season is December through April. Stu

Comment by Rick Harder on May 28, 2013 at 7:06: The warm/cool variations in the land are masterful, especially the cliffs.

Comment by Stuart J. Gourlay on May 24, 2013 at 6:01: Thank you for the compliment Sara. That depth through atmospheric perspective was the challenge of the current workshop. I see that you are new here but have already posted your picture and some of your work as well as commented on other artists' work. I hope you will consider joining the online workshop group if you have not already done so and posting your work for the competitions. This is a very friendly and helpful site. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Stu

Comment by Sara James on May 24, 2013 at 5:42: I love the depth that you have achieved.

Comment by mario alberto velazquez on May 2, 2013 at 9:30: is correct about the scale and height,maybe adults should be. even without them means the height scale..architectural facade is an essential...was suggestion...really I like

Comment by Stuart J. Gourlay on May 1, 2013 at 20:08: Thanks Mario. People provide the scale and accentuate the height of the cliffs. Stu

Comment by mario alberto velazquez on May 1, 2013 at 13:29: beautiful painting,the sky and clounds.the bluffs are reals..the small children distract me look at the most important in my humble opinion..I really like.
