June 2021 Newsletter [English]
* une version française [🇫🇷] sera également publiée
Summer has arrived and it is hot! The world is starting to re-open slowly … only time will tell (fingers crossed).
Art events and publications… Since my last art show in February 2021, I have not participated in any shows given scheduling changes due to French confinement 3 in the Spring. That being said, I had a fun time making a video for an Art PR “Takeover” week on Instagram in April with Beatrice Martini PR Agency (press relations for Salon des Artistes Francais). I also had a 4 page feature in Bit Magazine May 2021 issue, the largest equestrian magazine serving the Benelux region. I will be sharing that shortly but need to wait until the next issue is released.
What next? Art shows at Galerie 39 Barbizon (23 Aug – 5 Sept) and Saint-Pierre-Les Nemours (27-29 Aug). I am also excited to announce that I have been selected by the Academie Jacques BOITIAT to participate in the 55th Grand Prix de Barbizon scheduled for 9 October 2021. More information to come along with other art events in the pipeline so stay tuned for updates on my website or Instagram/facebook.
Recent awards. …
In April 2021, CovidSkies series (No.1 Barbizon Sunset) was a finalist in the Grey Cube Gallery Online International “Skies” Art Competition and is now in its new home with a very happy client.
New in the atelier …
2 new paintings have been recently completed in the CovidSkies series (“Turning Point” and “2020” both 51x65cm oil paintings). 3 new paintings are due out by the end of June of which 2 are over 1meter so take more time. There are also other exciting paintings in the pipeline, in particular, 2 more in the CovidSkies series and a few commissions
What else?
As a patron member of Paard Verzameld Collective (international gallery dedicated to equine art), I have also been busy participating in a Caravaggio Clair Obscur Masterclass (April) and a couple art challenges (April “Klimt – Patterns”, watercolor pencil drawing; and June “Variations of One” Monochromatic art challenge with an oil sketch on canvas panel). Each challenge is based on an art theme with an equine reference and is completed in one week ….so no time to waste! I also participated in the Bit Magazine Cover Competition, Benelux with an oil sketch on canvas panel for which my piece was one selected to the final list and currently waiting for the results.
That is all for now. Have a lovely summer. Looking forward to showing you my new artwork at the August art shows.
A très bientôt.
