Final Vernissage at Galerie Thuillier Paris

🇫🇷 Un dernier vernissage à la Galerie Thuillier, Paris, avec une touche de présence équine — Game On! ✨🐴🎨

Final vernissage at Galerie Thuillier, Paris ✨

Galerie Thuillier is closing its doors, and this evening (Tuesday 23 June, 6pm) marks its final vernissage — a special last gathering with Denis and the art community before the gallery’s definitive closure.

I first met Denis in 2020, just after my first Art Capital Paris. At the time, I was still very new in my return to painting, having picked up the brush again in France in 2017.

From the beginning, Denis was a true gallerist — someone who connected artists with art lovers, created opportunities, and offered real encouragement.

That connection has been deeply enriching for me. Over the years, Galerie Thuillier became part of my Paris art journey, and I will sincerely miss Denis’s presence in the Paris art scene.

For this final exhibition, with the theme “pink,” I chose Game On! — a painting that felt right for the occasion. Denis always appreciated my horses, so it felt meaningful to bring one more equine presence to this last show.

A heartfelt moment to celebrate 🎨

I would love to see you there if you can come.

Best,
Jeannine

LGCT Cannes 2026 [Artist Recap]

🇫🇷 Une semaine haute à LGCT Cannes en couleur entre chevaux, art et lumière de la Riviera.🐴🌴🎨

[🇺🇸A colorful week at LGCT Cannes of horses, art, and Riviera light.🐴🌴🎨]

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.

Flight — Le Vol oil painting by Jeannine Flower, created as the CSI2* Prix Cavalleria Toscana winner’s prize at Longines Global Champions Tour Cannes 2026.
Takeoff — Le Décollage oil painting by Jeannine Flower, created as the CSI2* Prix Optitro 1.30m at Longines Global Champions Tour Cannes 2026
Takeoff — Le Décollage oil painting by Jeannine Flower, created as the CSI2* Grand Prix Lucia Cannes 1.45m at Longines Global Champions Tour Cannes 2026

… 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 ☺️

Jeannine

PSST ….. Coming next….I’ll be exhibiting at Galerie Thuillier in Paris for its FINAL exhibition before the gallery closes it doors. I will be sending out details in a separate email. Most importantly the vernissage is Tuesday 23 June at 6pm

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.

April - Spring in Motion [News]

🇫🇷 Quelques nouvelles d’avril — expositions, travail en atelier, et ce qui se construit en douceur vers juin.

[🇺🇸 A few updates from April — exhibitions, studio work, and what’s quietly building toward June.]

April — Spring in Motion

April opened in Versailles at the Biennale Versaillaise, where I exhibited ‘Versailles à Cheval ‘— in the very town that hosted the Paris 2024 Olympic equestrian events and loved catching up with fellow artists and collectors at Carré de la Farine.

Biennale Versaillaise art show photos featuring oil painting 'Versailles à Chevall'

Received the official Certificate of Distinction ‘Mention issued by the jury of Salon des Artistes Francais at Art Capital, held in the Grand Palais Paris (Feb 2026). What an honour to be selected for this prestigious Paris Salon and the further recognition: a deeply meaninful milestone in my journey since returning to painting in 2017.

Jeannine Flower_Receives jury distinction "Mention"_Salon des Artistes Francaise Art Capital Paris 2026

Upcoming — Parc Floral de Paris

If you’re in the Paris region in May, I’ll be exhibiting two landscapes in the annual juried show, Parc Floral de Paris : organized by Cercle des Artistes de Paris and held in the Bois de Vincennes.

I’ll be attending the Vernissage May 4 at 6pm. 👉🏻 If you’d like to join, send me an email and I’ll send you an invitation for two.

📆 May 4–31, 2026

🕰️ Mon–Fri 14h-19h, Weekends & bank holidays 10h30-19h

🥂 Vernissage: May 4, 18h

📍 Parc Floral de Paris | Route de la Pyramide | Entrée Nymphéas | Pavillon 18 | Métro Château de Vincennes


In the Studio — Building Toward June

Two works have recently found new homes—always special to see paintings connect with collectors and carry part of my creative story into new spaces.

So what’s new?

Since Galerie 39 Barbizon, I’ve been busy in the studio working on a large-scale project to be unveiled in June. More exciting news to come in May. Stay tuned 🎨

 
 

As a result, little new work has appeared recently, aside from Chailly Spring (Chailly-en-Bière)—a small painting begun during the Galerie 39 Barbizon exhibition in February. After so many grey winter days, I wanted to bring some sunshine indoors, inspired by the vivid yellow rapeseed fields (colza 🇫🇷) surrounding Barbizon in April 🌼 , with a quiet hidden equine presence for the viewer to discover. 😉

 
 

What else?

Following my acceptance into Oil Painters of America at the end of 2025, that artistic momentum has continued into 2026 with my acceptance as a member of Fondation Taylor (Paris). I am very grateful to my two sponsors for supporting my submission to the Foundation’s Committee.

Founded in 1844, Fondation Taylor is one of France’s historic artist institutions, supporting artists through exhibitions, publications, and grants. This marks an important step in my journey as an artist.

 
 

That’s all for now. Thank you for following the work, sharing it, collecting it, or simply reaching out when something resonates—it truly makes a difference.✨

Take care, and I hope you’re enjoying the spring sunshine 😎 wherever you are. And for those in the Fontainebleau region, I hope you’re enjoying the Printemps des Sports Équestres at the Grand Parquet 🐴 — an event close to home that I was sorry to miss this year.

Best,
Jeannine

15 April, World Art Day

🇫🇷 Une note colorée pour la Journée mondiale de l’art 🌍 — célébrer la lumière, la vie et la joie de créer

[🇺🇸A colorful little note for World Art Day🌍— celebrating light, life, and the joy of creating.]

For my fellow friends and family in the U.S., it is Income Tax Day!

But … it is also World Art Day 😊

 
 

 I wanted to share a simple note of gratitude.

Throughout the ages, art has been a form of communication—whether through historical or religious depictions, cultural expression in modern times, or simply the joy people of all ages playing with color and painting the world around us.

For me, art is a way to translate transient moments of life through color, light, and emotion, whatever the subject, often capturing my passion for the equine spirit and form. I may begin with an idea, but at times the painting evolves along a different path, as the colors begin to find their own voice and guide their way onto the canvas.

Overall, whether through creating or viewing art, I believe it brings positive energy into the spaces it inhabits, which feels especially important today in a world full of unease and tension.

Thank you for being part of that journey and for supporting original art.

Best,
Jeannine Flower

March - Momentum [News]

🇫🇷 Du Grand Palais à Paris à Philadelphie, puis de retour à mon atelier de Barbizon, mars est en pleine accélération — un grand projet pour juin est en cours, avec la Biennale Versaillaise et deux parutions à venir. 🔥

[🇺🇸From the Grand Palais in Paris to Philadelphia and back to my Barbizon studio, March is in full motion—new work is underway for a major June release, with the Biennale Versaillaise and two magazine features ahead.🔥]

March — Momentum

Following on from an early February — marked by receiving a “Mention” at the Salon des Artistes Français (Art Capital) at the Grand Palais — I took a brief week to recharge with family back home in the Philadelphia region.

I was deeply moved — not only by the jury recognition, but also because that painting was selected for the 236th Le Salon des Artistes Français and featured my mare, El Chrispalina, whom we lost in January 2025. The loss is still raw, yet it felt quietly powerful to see her present in that moment in February 2026.

March arrives with the old adage in mind: will it come in like a lion and go out like a lamb — or the reverse? Either way, I’m choosing momentum.

I’m back in Barbizon. The studio is fully in motion.  A new addition to my week is that I’ve returned to the weights / gym — essential for strength and core when you’re ride at my age with mares who have their own ideas in mind 🚀. Everything is moving forward. 🔥


In the Studio — Building Toward June

I am currently deep into development of a large-scale project scheduled for release in June, alongside several new works evolving on the easel while quietly resolving select 2025 works in the studio

This is not a season for constant documentation. It is a season for depth — time alone with my pigments and brushs — refining, pushing, evolving. That focus defines 2026.

More soon.


End of March — Biennale Versaillaise

At the end of the month, I will be exhibiting in the juries 7th Biennale Versaillaise in Versailles (March 31 – April 5) and honored to present “Versailles à Cheval” inspired by the summer 2024 Olympics with the equestrian events set in the beautiful grounds of Versailles as the backdrop. That setting — horse, architecture, history — still gives me goosebumps.

Here are the details for the event:

📆 31 March – 5 April 2026, 11h – 18h

🥂 1 April, 5pm

📍 "Carré à la Farine", Pl. du Marché Notre Dame - 78000 Versailles

If you are nearby, I will be present at the vernissage — it would be wonderful to see you.

 
 


Two Upcoming Publications — France and the U.S.

This spring also brings two publications as a featured artist : one in Paris and the other Bucks County, Philadelphia region (PA, USA). Stay tuned for more information to come.

 

 
 

March is about building—quietly, steadily, and with full focus in the studio.

Looking forward to sharing new work shortly.

Thank you for following the journey. ✨

Best,
Jeannine

2025 Review, Fire Horse Ahead [NEWSLETTER]

[🇫🇷] 2025 a été une année riche : nouvelles œuvres, expositions, Maroc et renouveau créatif — voici un récapitulatif, ainsi que les premières dates des événements artistiques de février, alors que nous entrons dans l’Année du Cheval de Feu

[🇺🇸] 2025 was full: new work, exhibitions, Morocco, and a creative reset—here’s a recap, plus early February art-event dates as we head into the Year of the Fire Horse

Hello,

 

Looking back on 2025, I'm grateful for new art, shows, a Morocco residency that broadened my artist perspective, and moments of recognition. Thank you for your continued support, whether you've been here this year or just joined. As we enter the Year of the Fire Horse, I'm energized and ready for new ideas and creativity … with an early heads up about February art events.

 

2025 in Review

🎨 New Work

2025 was a year of momentum returning. After my accident in 2024 and two major surgeries, I spent much of this year catching up on studio time. I finished a number of paintings, including two Barbizon-inspired pieces created for a Tokyo exhibition (November 2025), along with a number of commissioned works. 

I also completed a four-part series for the Dutch Equine Art Fair (November 2025), which is now back in my studio as part of a broader recalibration. In 2025, I felt a noticeable shift—an urge to evolve, experiment, and refine the direction of my work. That change was influenced by two things: exploring watercolor studies this year, and reflecting on eight years of steady painting. Together, they brought me back to what matters most to me in the studio: paintings of presence, bolder decisions, and emotion carried by color and light.

That spirit of experimentation showed up not only in larger pieces, but also through small-format works for the Paard Verzameld Equine Art Collective one-week challenges—quick studies where I test composition, technique, and style, and often carry discoveries back into the larger paintings.

I’m excited to see what 2026 brings—new pieces, and the completion of a few works still in motion from 2025. Right now, I’m working on my 2026 studio focus around Horses ~ Horizons ~ Light—a guiding thread as new work takes form.

 

View the full gallery here:  https://jflowerart.com/portfolio

🖼️ Art Events

 2025 art calendar was busy with 12 art events—both juried and by invitation—spanning Paris, Saumur, Amsterdam, and Tokyo, plus two personal shows at Galerie 39 Barbizon. Love these events as a great way not only to share work, but also to reconnect with fellow artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts.

One of the year’s most defining moments was an art residency in Morocco (June 2025). Immersed in the region’s scenery, light, and color, I collaborated with other artists and shifted from oils into watercolor studies—working faster, simplifying, and using light and color to capture the moment quickly was a challenge. It was a genuine creative reset, and it made me think of Turner, Constable, and Sargent using watercolor to stay close to the moment. I love watercolors and want to work a little more in this medium in 2026.

🏅 Awards & Recognition

In 2025, I was honored to receive several awards, including:

  • Prix du Public Jeune — Salon d’Automne (Coubron) (November 2025)

  • PRIX Arts Majestic — Galerie Montsûrs, AEAF Salon Internationale des Arts (Paris, May 2025)

I also received several awards via international online art competitions throughout the year. I use these competitions to have work visible, challenged, and in conversation beyond my local exhibitions.

I was pleased to end the year with acceptance as a member of the Oil Painters of America. It is an association that promotes excellence in representational art and supports oil painters through juried exhibitions, education, and a professional community.

 

 What’s Next

2026 has already begun at full speed, with February in particular feeling like the artist’s version of corporate busy season (October tends to be the other). From Barbizon to the Grand Palais in Paris, here are a few dates for your diary

  • Paris | Galerie Thuillier — Prix du Jury — 30 January to 12 February (vernissage Tuesday 3 February, 6pm)

  • Barbizon | Galerie 39 — Hiver en Couleur — 2 to 15 February

  • Paris | Art Capital 2026 — Grand Palais — 13 to 15 February (Vernissage Thursday 12 February by invitation)

✨ If you’re nearby—or planning a Paris weekend—I’d love to see you in person.

 
 

I’ll send another email in the next day with further information about these art events. 

 

Stay tuned and hope to see you soon!

Have a great weekend!

Best,

Jeannine

Summer Colors, Fresh Work and an Invitation [Newsletter]

🇫🇷  Rien de tel que le soleil d’été pour éveiller la créativité — de longues journées, des couleurs éclatantes et de nouvelles œuvres à partager. J’aimerais beaucoup vous retrouver au vernissage le 7 septembre 2025 ! 🖼️

[🇺🇸 There’s nothing like summer sun to spark creativity — long days, bright colors, and new art to share. I’d love to see you at the vernissage 7 Sept 2025! 🖼️

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”).

📅 Upcoming Show

So Long Winter [Newsletter]

🇫🇷 On dit au revoir à l'hiver avec de nouvelles œuvres d'art colorées 🖼️ et plus de nouvelles œuvres à venir bientôt  🖼️ #ambiancedemars

[🇺🇸  Saying goodbye to winter with some colorful new art 🖼️ More new art to come soon including a few custom pieces  🖼️  #marchvibes

Hello !

Spring vibes are in the air and I' can’t wait for the Fountainebleau Forest to wake up 🌿 

Following busy February with Galerie 39 Barbizon solo show and Galerie Thuillier Prix de la Presse, I took a quick break to find some sun in Provence. A great place for 2025 planning 😉. Since, when I'm not at the stables, I've busy been in the art studio before a hospital visit on 20 March to remove the titanium plate following 2024 accident [FREEDOM 😀] .

So a few new paintings are finished. YES - a WILD color variation ! 🎨  

I love the dynamic impact of COLOR … to create a natural light within the canvas and to express emotion. For me, sunsets always translate as Nature saying “hey LOOK at me” 🌅 but the gentle morning light is more a reflective … “un petit coucou” … sense of hope and possibilities of what could come in the day. Does color impact you similarly


So what’s in store for 2025?

PAINTING … Last year, life events took away considerable time. I want to see where the pigments take me this year.  This Spring, I plan new canvases including a Water Series 2025 and two pieces for an art event in Tokyo, Japan 🇯🇵 (November 2025). Intrigued?  Me Too! 😃 Stay tuned! 🎨


Any upcoming art shows?

I’m playing around with a couple of art show ideas but really want to focus on CREATING in 2025.  The next scheduled art event is in May (AEAF Salon International des Arts at Galerie Nesle Paris 6). As always there will be Galerie 39 Barbizon Equine Art Solo Show (August). More to come! 🎨


Jan 2025 art award for London painting

What else?

With all the excitement of February art events I forgot to mention “London Calling” ©️ 2018 received 2nd place in Fusion Art Palm Springs CA International Online Art Competition “Urban Landscapes”. I was so happy 😃. It's one of my favorite 2018 paintings that’s now held in Private Collection in London 🇬🇧

Online Boutique [Big News]

NEW! Shop Art Online Art Boutique on my website with two shops US and Europe.

Looking for Holiday Gift goodies? Come to the Marché de Noël Barbizon (14 December).

 
 

You may have noticed merchandise popping up on my social media. I'd like to share with you what's happening 😊

  • Why sell Merchandise & Open Edition Prints ? 

  • Why not sell only Original Paintings  ?

My art celebrates a passion for life, nature and equines through color bringing artful energy and joy to your home or work decor.

By buying my art you support an independent artist and I am deeply grateful … THANK YOU 😊

The CHALLENGE is I am only one person. Each original oil painting can take from 2 weeks to 3 months to create depending on size, which creates constraints given demand. I've also been thinking about the best ways to make my unique art available for all ages and budgets.

So what’s happened?

I've developed 'Shop Art' Online Art Boutique on my website … to make this a viable business on which to live, and MORE IMPORTANTLY, to make art available to everybody.

'Shop Art' includes two boutiques to minimize your shipping costs (one for US and a separate one for Europe). This took time and there is still some work involved.

  • SHOP ART EUROPE Part is up and running and Merchandise / Open Edition Prints will be rolled out in January 2025 .. in the meantime merchandise will be available at Marché de Noël Barbizon FRANCE (14 December).

 What’s in 'Shop Art' ?

  • Original Art available to purchase.  For my Collectors you now have the ability to purchase my unique art ONLINE. You're the cornerstone. ONLY YOU are the holder of the original signed full landscape / equine art painting with a Certificate of Authenticity. These will continue to be shipped from my art studio in Barbizon FRANCE.

  • Open Edition Prints & Merchandise for art lovers of all ages and budgets [NEW] You can purchase beautiful curated prints & merchandise to add a unique artful twist to your home or office decor and wonderful for gifts. 😀

For the launch, I've specially selected a couple of pieces from my existing work (not full image) to create a small Collection of products for the holiday season. This is a trial run.

From January 2025, Open Edition Prints & Merchandise will be sourced from unique art that I create for the changing of the seasons. The original artwork will remain with me but can also be enjoyed by you. The Collection will change according to the seasons so what you see available in March won't be available in July.

 

  • Gift Cards 🎁 [NEW] Just in time for Holiday Season 2024. Available in BOTH Shop USA and Shop Europe. Great for giving a one-of-a-kind gift …. the gift of art.

    Gift Card can be used to purchase original art, prints, merchandise or put towards a commission.

    You receive the gift card in an email with a unique GIFT CARD CODE.
