Autumn 2019 Newsletter

Since end of summer it has been pretty busy with a couple of art expositions, a new painting and weekly training at the stables / attending a few showjumping competitions so  thought it was a good moment to share what I have been up to lately. 

Recent art expositions

First I wanted to say “thank you” to those of you who were able to make it to my Art Equestre Expositionwith Cedrio Mion at Galerie 39 (Barbizon 77630) in early September. I enjoy exhibiting my artwork at Galerie 39 as it is a great opportunity to meet new people in a picturesque village and able to paint while at the gallery, which creates interest/intrigue from the street to see painting “live”. I plan to be back there again end of August next year (as in the past 2 years).

Following Galerie 39, I headed over to for my art exhibit at Bo Ranch(La Chapelle La Reine, 77760) for their grand opening and first international reining horse show in mid September. It was great to be a part of their opening events, meet new people, see Quarter Horse breed in full action, and to feel the passion for the sport shared by participants and spectators. It was full of energy in a wonderful state-of-the art setting. It was also a great opportunity for me to take some photos that will be my reference for my next oil painting that I will be starting this week. 

New oil painting fresh off the easel

Following these exciting events, I have been able to finish the oil painting that I started at the Galerie 39 exposition. “Red Bar”,  a 92x73cm oils on linen painting, is finished and was on display at the CSI international horse show Barbizon this past weekend. It is now back in Paris for final tweeks and varnish.  

So what is next?

I plan on one more painting in advance of my next art exposition at the 9thSalon International Animal Art Paris at Hippodrome d’Auteuil 15-18 November 2019. The painting will be based on my photos taken at Bo Ranch in Sept 2019 and will likely be the last in the equine series as I focus on other subject matter for paintings from December into winter 2020. 

Stay tuned for more information concerning Animal Art Paris and other upcoming art events that will be posted in the upcoming weeks.
