Galerie 39 Barbizon to 16 Feb [New Painting]

Hello! 🎨 I'm thrilled to share my latest oil painting with you—a vibrant 2025 painting that captures winter’s essence at Twilight! 🌅

The winter may be grey but nothing like color to had warmth to a space.

Inspired by my home county (Bucks County, PA), this new piece is a celebration of life and light where color and emotion collide.

With a sunny weekend predicted, I can't wait to do some LIVE painting! 🎨😊✨

‘Hiver en Couleur’ Art Show is at Galerie 39 Barbizon through to Sunday 16 February.

Best,
Jeannine

Galerie 39 Barbizon [Art Show]

Featuring ‘Ciel d’Hiver’, Plaine of Barbizon / Macherin

Hello !

All set up and ready ‘Hiver en Couleur’ (4- 16 February 2025) solo art show celebrating the colors of nature to brighten up the grey winter days. 🖼️✨

I can’t wait to share my vibrant landscapes with you along with some other artwork including a sprinkle of some equine art. This is one of my favorite events in my art calendar to catch up you.

As always there will be LIVE painting in action. 🎨a

You won’t want to miss it—come immerse yourself in the colors and emotions that art can evoke!

One piece I’m particularly excited about is the feature painting “Ciel d’Hiver’, which captures a stunning interplay of light and shadow across a winter landscape. I can’t wait for you to see it in person. Will you be able to find the secret horse hidden in the painting ? [a new little signature accent I’ve added to the landscapes since 2024 and is a hit with everybody] 🔍

Feel free to reply to this email if you have any questions or just want to chat!

For more details see below.

Looking forward to seeing you there! 🌟

Best,
Jeannine

“Le Belvédère” is a wrap

“Le Belvedere”, 73 x 60cm, oils on linen

[🇺🇸]  “Le Belvédère” is finished. I have walked down Rue de Belvedere (Gordes) so many times. I cannot count how many photos I have taken coming down that path: the colors and the perspective are always different especially across the four seasons. It is called the Rue de Belvedere for good reason with a beautiful scenic view of the Luberon mountain range in the distance: not visible in this scene but it will surely pop up in some future painting that I do!

Confinement brings new artistic inspiration and, for this painting, some punchy yet delicate colors to feed the palette.

[🇫🇷] Un nouveau tableau est sortie, « Le Belvédère ». J’ai marché dans la Rue de Belvédère (Gordes) tellement de fois. Je ne peux pas compter le nombre de photos que j'ai prises en descendant ce chemin: les couleurs et la perspective sont toujours différentes surtout au fil des quatre saisons. Elle s'appelle la Rue de Belvédère pour une bonne raison avec une belle vue panoramique sur la chaîne du Luberon au loin: non visible dans cette scène mais elle apparaîtra sûrement dans une future peinture!

Le confinement apporte une nouvelle inspiration artistique et, pour ce tableau, des couleurs sont puissantes mais avec des nuances délicates pour nourrir la palette.

“Winter Light, Gordes”

“Winter Light, Gordes” 81x65cm oils on linen painting is finished. First of 2020. Started it in 2019 to do something a bit different with my favorite village to capture a typical impression when we were there during winter with the cooler light set off by the deep blue sky. I never got around to finishing it because of other more immediate paintings to do/finish so finally found the time now to put on the final touches. It is nice to change it up from time to time to capture special moments amongst nature …and without a horse in it! 

This is a snip-it of the original painting. A full view of the painting can be found on my website Home Page.

Commission finished: off to US

This is a large format 100x80cm oils on linen portrait / commissioned painting just finished for a US client. Loved painting the Scottish landscape and wild clouds. This is a snip-it of the original painting. It was a bit of a challenge to get the photo of the painting to capture fully the colors and the contrasting lights / darks.  A full view of the painting can be found on my website under "Gallery/ Fresh off the easel".

Nice change up: New painting, Paris

2018 was an exciting first full year of painting for many years. I have started 2019 going a bit further afield with my subject matter. My second painting of the year, “Across the Street”, is inspired by a personal daytime photo I transformed into a night scene with a streetlight illuminating the elegant Haussmannien façade opposite. This is a snip-it of the original painting. A full view of the painting can be found on my website under "Gallery/ Fresh off the easel".

“Lake Titicaca” painting is finished

Here is a snip-it of my next oil painting just finished, “Lake Titicaca”, based on photo taken by a friend who travelled there over the summer. I could not resist painting with these colors.  It will be on show at the exposition at Galerie 39 located in Barbizon from 30 Aug – 5 Sept 2018. Full view of the painting can be found on my website under "Gallery/ Fresh off the easel".

Debut of "London Calling"

A wonderful photo by “HistoryLondon” that I found irresistible not to paint.  Sunrise over the docklands taken from the City of London. These snip-its are extracts from the painting that is currently drying.  The full image of the painting will be soon on my website “Gallery – Fresh off the easel”.
