Fine Art Rays of Sun by Annelein Beukenkamp, 14x32-Inch, Multicolor

An art piece featuring a captivating Sunflower sits at the center of this gallery-wrapped, ready-to-hang canvas. The artist, Annelein Beukenkamp, is a signature member of the Vermont Watercolor Society, having won several awards across the state.

Beukenkamp's approach to watercolor painting is constantly evolving, as she takes immense joy and passion in the medium. She truly appreciates the beautiful way the vibrant pigments mingle and interact on the crisp white paper, allowing her to stretch her palette to its fullest capacity.

Flowers, in all their colorful and varied glory, continue to be the artist's favored subject matter. Beukenkamp strives to capture the very essence of a bloom, rather than a mere reproduction. This approach, she believes, stems from her childhood in the Netherlands, where she would drive past endless fields of explosive hues on her way to her grandmother's house.

Watercolor has much more to teach Beukenkamp, and she remains excited by the endless possibilities the medium offers. Her paintings can be found in private and corporate collections around the world, and several of her images have been reproduced as limited edition giclee prints.

Giclee, an advanced printmaking process, allows for the creation of high-quality fine art reproductions that are virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. This wide acceptance by galleries, museums, and private collectors has made giclee an ideal choice for Beukenkamp's work.

The artist's canvases are gallery-wrapped, a method of stretching the canvas so that it wraps around the sides and is secured to a hidden, wooden frame. This technique allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting, further enhancing the modern and contemporary style that Beukenkamp's artwork embodies.

Beukenkamp's participation in various yearly group and solo shows across Vermont, including the Stratton Arts Festival, Shelburne Farms, Art on the Mountain, Haystack, Reflections on Basin Harbor, and Art in the Round Barn, Waitsfield, has earned her recognition and acclaim within the local artistic community.

Through her unwavering dedication and passion for the medium, Annelein Beukenkamp continues to captivate audiences with her vibrant, evocative watercolor paintings of the natural world's most beautiful blooms.
