QUINTESSENTIAL
Referring to something as "quintessential" is a way of describing the culmination of a perfect set characteristics that represents its essence. For those of us who live in the Berkshires, the word can be applied to many things that are "quintessentially" characteristic of the area, perhaps most notably the landscapes that grace our lives thoughout every one of the four seasons.
​
In our new Online Exhibit, the Friends of Prospect Lake is thrilled to share the work of Margot Trout who, in a stunning collection of her paintings, captures the local vistas that are quintessentially Berkshire. We hope you enjoy.
