Guest artist Annelein Beukenkamp will exhibit her luminous floral watercolor paintings alongside garden-themed works by Art on Main exhibitors in this summer exhibition. An opening reception will be held on Friday, June 7th from 5-7 pm in the gallery on Main Street in Bristol.

​

Annelein says her favorite subject matter continues to be colorful flowers which take well to the watercolor medium and allows her to stretch her palette to its fullest capacity. "I strive to capture a blooms’ “essence,” not its exact reproduction. I think the reason I enjoy painting all those blossoms stems from my childhood in the Netherlands, driving by field after field of explosive color on the way to my grandmother’s house." In her watercolors, Annelein controls the spontaneous medium while also allowing the colorful pigments to mingle and interact on the crisp white paper.

​

This exhibition dovetails with a special garden fundraising event on July 14th at Rocky Dale Gardens in Bristol featuring nationally known garden expert Charlie Nardozzi. Check our Events page for more information about this highly anticipated event for garden enthusiasts.
