LGCT Cannes 2026 [Artist Recap]

View fullsize

LGCT Cannes 2026 has come and gone - great memories 🎨🐴🌴

It was such an honor to be the Invited Artist & Official Event Partner for the Longines Global Champions Tour de Cannes 2026 — creating original oil paintings for the three CSI2* winner’s prizes, exhibiting artwork across the VIP Espaces and Show Office, and capturing moments around the venue through quick ink sketches and watercolor studies.

And yes — doing it all with a new hat from my favorite hat shop in Barbizon, ArteMilanrio. Thank you, Rolando!

New Cannes-themed painting series

The new original painting series created for the event brought together the energy of international showjumping with the color, movement, and atmosphere of the French Riviera.

Each painting was created to hold a particular sense of movement and presence through Riviera colors. The most challenging element, as a colorist, was how to describe the horse without knowing what color horse the winner would be. I wanted something memorable — using color to suggest any horse, while the Bay of Cannes served as the common thread across all three paintings.

It was a privilege to see the works presented to the winning horse-and-rider combinations and to share this collaboration with the international LGCT community.

The level of sport was extraordinary. Watching the riders and horses move through the arena also reinforced what I wanted the paintings to hold: energy, light, and movement.

… And around the venue…

Beyond the winner’s prizes, it was very special to exhibit a broader selection of my original artwork across the VIP Espaces and Show Office. Seeing my horses on canvas placed throughout the venue created a dialogue between the paintings, the event, and the live atmosphere of international competition.

Art in Motion

I also loved the spontaneous side of the week — sketchbook in hand, moving through the venue, observing the horses, riders, atmosphere, and light. Those quick ink sketches and watercolor studies became another way of responding directly to the event as it unfolded.

So what else?

📣 I plan to release a fourth and final oil painting from the Cannes series. Because this piece was created to remain with me, I chose to hold it back until LGCT Cannes was finished. More soon.

✨ The original Cannes winners prize collection is also being considered for limited-edition prints. If interested in obtaining a print, please let me know.  [Enquire About Limited Edition Prints]

Thank you to everyone who visited, followed the journey, and supported this extraordinary collaboration ☺️

Best,

Jeannine

We are now LIVE from LGCT Cannes 2026 🎨🐴🌴

The Longines Global Champions Tour de Cannes is now underway, and I’m delighted to be here as Artiste mise à l’honneur 2026 / Featured Artist as long as one of the Official Event Partners for the 2026 Edition.

After several intense months in the studio, the new original artwork created especially for Cannes has now arrived at the event — with the full reveal still to come — to be shown alongside a selected group of original equine paintings from my studio, brought together for this occasion.

My artwork is located around the event including the Espace VIP Riders, Espace VIP Sponsors, and Show Office. 🖼️

I’am also moving around the showgrounds including the visitor village and paddock with watercolors and sketchbook in hand, capturing small moments of Cannes — horses, light, movement, and the atmosphere of the show.🎨

As an artist, horse owner, and amateur showjumper, it means so much to be part of this amazing event bringing together my two passions (art and horses) on the French Riveria atmosphere and light.

Horses, Art, and the French Riviera. 🐴🎨🌴

Honored to be part of the official partner lineup for the Longines Global Champions Tour of Cannes 2026 (4-6 June) as Artiste Mise à l’Honneur 2026 / Featured Artist.

For the last couple of months I’ve been working on new equine art to be unveiled in Cannes next week. 🎨✨

Art Studio snippets

As a horse owner, amateur show jumper, and artist ... this project feels especially meaningful — where showjumping, Riviera light, and art converge. ✨

During the event, I’ll be there with watercolors and sketchbook in hand 🎨 — capturing small moments of Cannes 🌴 : light, movement, atmosphere, and horses.

I look forward to sharing the new original artwork created especially for the event, presented alongside equine works from my studio archive, brought together for Cannes.
