Summer Colors, Fresh Work and an Invitation [Newsletter]
Hello 👋
Late Spring / Summer has been full of lots of creativity, recognition, and exciting opportunities. I’m delighted to share a glimpse of what’s been happening in the studio and beyond:
🎨 Art inspiration
As I say “Life brings Color, Colors Inspires Art” and the past few months have brought much to my mind as I continue to explore my own art going forward.
The last few months have been full of ART INSPIRATION including a 9-day watercolor art excusion to Skoura, Ouarzazate and Marrekech Morocco with a group of artists led by Patricia Cabillon. It was a very special experience to explore new ways to see light and color via watercolor. I plan to share a full account of this trip with you in upcoming weeks but here is a little photo snip-it.
After the visit to Morocco, the remainder of June was spent on a family trip to the United States 🇺🇸 before returning to France 🇫🇷 in July …. filled with horses shows in Fontainebleau and near Deauville … and art studio time prepping for a VERY BUSY Autumn including artwork scheduled November art events: Galerie Kubota (Tokyo, JAPAN 🇯🇵) organized by Denis Cornet Galerie THUILLIER Paris and the Dutch Equine Art Fair organized by Paard Verzameld at Living Horse Museum Amsterdam 🇳🇱.
🖼️ New Art
Since my last newsletter, I’ve been busy in the art studio working on new oil paintings and wrapping up several commissions … and completing a few pieces for the 1-week art challenges organized by Paard Verzameld’s International Equine Art Collective that are always a GREAT OPPORTUNITY to explore different styles and techniques to EVOLVE as an artist.
As I like to weave traditional Representational style into Impressionist atmosphere …. I feel there is still a way to go 🎨 . I’m using opportunities like art exhibitions in Tokyo and Amsterdam to push the creativity out further.
📣 Stay tuned for a little email in the very near future revealing the two paintings series destined for Tokyo (November 2025).
🏆 Recognition
In the past few months I was honored to receive the PRIX Arts Majestic Galerie Montsûrs at the International Salons des Arts Paris organized by the Académie Européene des Arts-France (May 2025). I was then delighted to also receive awards from LightSpaceTime International Online Art Competitions in June and July: 10th place Overall/6th Place Painting Category & Special Recognition (“Cityscapes”), and Special Recognition (“Summer”).
