February Art Events [2 Distinctions]

Two art events. Two distinctions for two equine paintings. One extraordinary month to start 2026.

The Lunar Year of the Fire Horse has begun at full steam. 🔥🐴
And for me, it’s personal—1966 is my own lunar year—and it’s been an amazing start to this new year.

The month began with wonderful news: I was honored to receive a Special Mention Award at the Galerie Thuillier Prix du Jury event on February 3, for my monochromatic oil painting "Blue Belle."

Then, on February 14, "Curious Connection" received a Mention from the jury of Le Salon des Artistes Francais (Art Capital 2026) — a milestone moment for me. https://www.artcapital.fr https://www.artistes-francais.com
