Autumn Newsletter [🇺🇸*]

While we live in unprecedented times with Covid 19, I try to maintain a certain level of normality.

Nothing like a new painting to motivate. Since the spring I have been busy in the atelier broadening my portfolio with 5 new paintings. I also have two additional oil paintings in the pipeline, one of which is for my dad who is celebrating his 90th birthday this year!  

Publications, a new channel! With the lockdown/Covid 19 constraints on art shows, I was delighted to be invited to contribute to a couple of publications including the International Thoroughbred Magazine, Special issue on Equine Art & Creativity (June 2020) and, more recently, in Le Mag Art & Design Review Autumn 2020 issue. It was great to have this additional medium to showcase my work.

Latest on art events. I have just wrapped up the 2eme Expo d’Arts Equestre with equine photographer, Cedric Mion, at Galerie 39 (Barbizon). It was great seeing friends, making new acquaintances, and to do daily live painting demonstrations that resulted in “Groovy Jumper”. In the Barbizon /Fontainebleau region, a few of my oil paintings have been/will be on display at CSI Fontainebleau Summer Tour, CWD stand at Le Grand Parquet (6 Sept), western art paintings at  Bo Ranch Futurity Competition, La Chapelle La Reine (9-13 Sept), and some of my jumpers on display at Barbizon Jump Bost national horseshow (12-13 Sept).

There will also be a more formal presentation of my paintings at Art Show Paris VII, L’Espace Bastille Design, Paris 75011 (13-15 Sept) and at Galerie Thuillier, Paris 75003 (9-22 Oct). 

Stay tuned for snip-its / stories on Instagram/Facebook (JCWFlowercreations).

Take care and stay safe.
