April - Spring in Motion [News]

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.

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.

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

Flying into Holiday season!

I hope you are doing well. Since my last email, Salon d’Automne 2024 hosted by the town of COUBRON (93) has since finished and have lots of wonderful memories of the week. It was very special to the Guest of Honor (‘invitée d’honneur’) but what I LOVED most was sharing my world as an artist with students of local schools. Even with some snow challenges ❄️ still achieved to do a full day where I met with 6 different groups of students with lots of intrigue and questions !! 😀 Some of them where as tall as me …not difficult right? 😂. Here are some photos of the week.
