So Long Winter [Newsletter]
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! 🎨
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 🇬🇧
ShopArt is up and running
Two sites to keep shipping costs low (USA and Europe). It is easy to purchase original art as well as pick up lovely gifts and gift cards. Have you checked it out yet?
ShopArt Europe gifts are slowly rolling out as need to build out a separate platform (when not painting or riding 😂). If you see something you like on USA … contact me know and I will get the same product for you here in France / Europe 👉🏻 FREE shipping France 🇫🇷
Hope to catch up with you soon perhaps at the show ring around Fontainebleau. 🐴 There are a couple of horse shows coming up … waiting for my daughter to return from 3rd year at Uni 🏴
📣 If you’re in the Fontainebleau region, perhaps I’ll see you at Médiathèque de Fontainebleau on Friday 4 April 6pm for the vernissage of the 2nd Quinzaine Du Cheval in association with Fontainebleau Cheval (Patrice Guéritot photography and Christophe Dumont sculpture).
THANK YOU for being a part of my artistic journey! Your support means the world to me.
Best,
Jeannine
