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 🎨

View fullsize

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

March - Momentum [News]

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

Le Salon d’Automne 2025 [Paris Art show]

Paris in autumn is always an invitation to visit especially art events including le Salon d’Automne, founded in 1903 … a vibrant celebration of contemporary art.

This year, the Salon takes centre stage right at Place de la Concorde, transforming the heart of Paris into an immense open space for artistic expression. Over 1,000 artists representing 48 nationalities will present their work across 4,000 square metres, welcoming more than 30,000 visitors over five days. It’s not only an exhibition — it’s a meeting place where painters, sculptors, photographers, and collectors share in the energy of the creative world.

Throughout the week, there is a program of cultural events and performances to animate the Salon — reinforcing its mission to make art accessible to all. Every artwork shown is available for acquisition, offering collectors the chance to engage directly with the artists behind each piece.

I’m proud to be selected once again for this exceptional event and to be part of this living tradition, surrounded by so many remarkable contemporary artists, is an honor and a joy.

If you find yourself in Paris during these dates, I warmly invite you to come experience the Salon d’Automne in all its color and cultural vitality — right at the very heart of the city.

I will be there Friday 31 Oct  (16-20h), Saturday 1 Nov (16h-18h30), and Sunday 2 Nov (15-18h).

L’histoire du Salon d’Automne

Le Salon d'Automne est un événement d’art historique à Paris …créée le 31 octobre 1903 au Petit Palais Paris … une exposition indépendante pour promouvoir l'avant-garde et les idées novatrices de l'époque. Le choix de l'automne comme saison de présentation est stratégique à plus d'un titre : il permet aux artistes de présenter les petits formats réalisés en extérieur au cours de l'été — en se plaçant ainsi à la pointe de l'actualité artistique — et de se démarquer des deux autres grands salons — celui de la  Société nationale des beaux-arts et celui des Salon des Artistes Français — qui ont lieu au printemps (ca va dire, en février).  Le Salon d’Automne a précipité l’émergence de tous les grands courants artistiques du XXe siècle : Surréalisme, Cubisme, Abstraction, Nouvelle Figuration, Art Singulier. On y retrouve tous les plus grands noms de la peinture moderne, de Cézanne à Picasso, l'École de Paris, Dali, Zao Wou Ki et Antonio Manfredi (2014) ou Moebius (2015): [sources divers dont https://www.salon-automne.com/fr/historique ]

The weather has been beautiful to set up my solo art show, Cheval dans l’Art (26 Aug to 7 Sept  2025) celebrating my passion for art and horses. 🖼️✨

Le Salon d’Automne 2024

“Butterfly Effect 3” equine art oil painting, Section: Figuration (sector 76-80)

[🇫🇷] Un ‘petit moment’ a passé depuis mes deniers nouveaux mais suite un accident important en mars, la suite deux chirurgies (cheville cassé et ligament genou), une visite aux USA pendant 5 semaines pour les raisons familiales et urgents et, en plus, quelques expositions pendant l’été … j’ai été vraiment débordée. Mon silence n’a pas été pour rien parce qu’il y aura une dizaine de toiles à l’huile qui vont sortir avant fin 2024. Je vais communiquer en plus bientôt. Je promis !

Entre temps, je suis au septième ciel que mon grand tableau «Butterfly Effect 3» a été sélectionnée pour le 121e Salon d’Automne Paris.

« Butterfly Effect 3» n’a pas été facile à réaliser étant donné sa taille et j’avais jambe était immobilisée de mi-mars à juillet suite 2 chirurgies. Mon tableau à l’huile art équin célèbre ‘ma Barbizon’. J'ai hâte de le partager avec vous au Salon (Section : Figuration, sector 76 - 80).

On se trouve les informations clés pour le Salon en bas. Je serai ravie à vous revoir! A Très Bientôt :)

* * * * *

 [🇺🇸]  It's been awhile since my last news but following a serious accident in March, two surgeries (ankle and knee ligament), a visit to the USA for 5 weeks for urgent family reasons and exhibitions during the summer …I was really overwhelmed! My silence has not been for nothing because 10+ new oil paintings will be released before the end of 2024. I will communicate more on this new work soon. I promise!

In the meantime, I am over-the-moon that my large painting “Butterfly Effect 3” was selected for the 121st Le Salon d'Automne Paris.

« Butterfly Effect 3» was a CHALLENGE to create given its large size and the fact that my leg was immobilised from mid-March to July following 2 surgeries. My equine art oil painting celebrates ‘my Barbizon’. I look forward to sharing it with you at the Salon (Section : Figuration, sector 76 - 80).

The Salon d’Automne Paris 2023/24

[🇫🇷]  Le Salon d'Automne, reconnue d'utilité publique, est créée le 31 octobre 1903 au Petit Palais Paris … une exposition indépendante pour promouvoir l'avant-garde et les idées novatrices de l'époque. Le choix de l'automne comme saison de présentation est stratégique à plus d'un titre : il permet aux artistes de présenter les petits formats réalisés en extérieur au cours de l'été — en se plaçant ainsi à la pointe de l'actualité artistique — et de se démarquer des deux autres grands salons — celui de la  Société nationale des beaux-arts et celui des Salon des Artistes Français — qui ont lieu au printemps (ca va dire, en février). 

Le Salon d’Automne a précipité l’émergence de tous les grands courants artistiques du XXe siècle : Surréalisme, Cubisme, Abstraction, Nouvelle Figuration, Art Singulier. On y retrouve tous les plus grands noms de la peinture moderne, de Cézanne à Picasso, l'École de Paris, Dali, Zao Wou Ki et Antonio Manfredi (2014) ou Moebius (2015): [sources divers dont https://www.salon-automne.com/fr/historique ]

Pour être inclus dans le salon, un(e) artiste ne peut soumettre qu'une seule photo d'une œuvre à l'examen du jury. Par conséquent, je suis raviee et honorée que ma toile, «Sous La Pluie» a été sélectionnée pour la Section : Figuration (secteur C-23).

 [🇺🇸]  The Salon d'Automne was created in the basement of the Petit Palais Paris in 1903… an independent exhibition to promote the avant-garde and the innovative ideas of the time. The choice of autumn was strategic: it allows artists to present the small formats produced outdoors during the summer - thus placing themselves at the forefront of artistic news. — and to stand out from the two other major fairs — that of the National Society of Fine Arts and that of the Salon des Artistes Français — which takes place in the spring (February). It has precipitated the emergence of all the major artistic trends of the 20th century: Surrealism, Cubism, Abstraction, New Figuration, and Singular Art. It includes all the greatest names in modern painting, from Cézanne to Picasso, the Paris School, Dali, Zao Wou Ki and Antonio Manfredi (2014) or Moebius (2015) [various sources including https://www.salon-automne.com/en/historique]

 Very special to be included in the Salon as an artist can submit only one photo of one artwork for jury consideration. Honored that my submission, “Sous La Pluie” (“Under The Rain”) was selected for the Section: Figuration.
