Taylor Point in Jamestown Rhode island

Taylor Point in Jamestown is one of Rhode Island’s many hidden gems. It’s a promontory north of Potters Cove and it’s nestled right below the Newport Bridge. The rocky outcropping offers spectacular views of the Bridge, the Bay, Coasters Harbor Island, and the Naval War College in Newport. To reach the overlook, first you must travel a narrow shady path that weaves through a tangle of overgrown trees, vines, and brush. Your anticipation builds as you draw closer, and soon the leaves part, and the sight of sailboats on the sunlit Bay beckons.
My inspiration for this Painting is to capture that moment – that anticipation – when you know that Beauty is just moments away.
