Getting excited:MasterPro Concours Fontainebleau

20-22 June MasterPro Concours de Saut d’Obstacles (French Championship) is next weekend at Le Grand Parquet, Fontainebleau. A love horse show with show jumping up to the 1.50meter classes for the Pro Elite in a beautiful setting with shops / boutiques and refreshments to pass the time away.

One of my new original oil paintings will be on exposition there with Cedric Mion (photographe équestre, Fontainebleau). If I am not at the exposition tent (under the trees by Carriere des Princes), I will either in the saddle warming up the horses or watching my daughter in the show ring with our mares.

Here is a snip-it of the new painting, which is a 100x80cm oils on linen that plays with contrasting lights and darks. I wanted to zoom in to capture the surge movement as the horse rider /time move over the 1.60meter height oxer.
