Tranquility
Margaret Prescott
Margaret embraces the vibe of Door County and is inspired by its natural beauty. She explores the interplay between this environment and the emotion it invokes. While creating a painting, she manipulates the subject, composition, and lighting until it captures her story and feels right.
Quote from the artist: “I am passionate about sunlight, especially how it plays off the clouds and water. Often, I will adjust the perspective or horizon line of a scene to add drama and properly invite the viewer into my vision. Sometimes just a color inspires me, and I will create a scene to explore that shade. I sometimes add new elements in the foreground or background until the composition reaches harmony, and my story is complete. I am not a purist; I consider myself an artistic explorer, often creating work with unexpected outcomes.”
