Galerie 39 Barbizon [Equine Art Show]

Featuring : ‘Game on’, oil on canvas©️ 2021

Hello !

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. 🖼️✨

There are new paintings, both large and small format.

You’ll find me in front of the easel with LIVE painting in action …for artwork destined for the Dutch Equine Art Fair in Amsterdam (Nov 2025) 🎨 🐴 🇳🇱

It is a great time of year to be at Galerie 39 with equine enthusiasts all around especially given it is also the same time as the French Young Jumper Finals at Grand Parquet Fontainebleau (la Grande Semaine CSO Finales Nationals de Jeunes Chevaux) and the annual Sale of Young Jumpers at Espace Rozier (Les Ventes Fences Elite de Jeune Chevaux.

And as always … it is one of my favorite events in my art calendar to catch up with you.

Come immerse yourself in the colors and emotions that art can evoke!

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

Summer Colors, Fresh Work and an Invitation [Newsletter]

Hello 👋

Late Spring / Summer has been full of lots of creativity, recognition, and exciting opportunities. I’m delighted to share a glimpse of what’s been happening in the studio and beyond:

🎨 Art inspiration

As I say “Life brings Color, Colors Inspires Art” and the past few months have brought much to my mind as I continue to explore my own art going forward.

The last few months have been full of ART INSPIRATION including a 9-day watercolor art excusion to Skoura, Ouarzazate and Marrekech Morocco with a group of artists led by Patricia Cabillon. It was a very special experience to explore new ways to see light and color via watercolor. I plan to share a full account of this trip with you in upcoming weeks but here is a little photo snip-it.

After the visit to Morocco, the remainder of June was spent on a family trip to the United States 🇺🇸 before returning to France 🇫🇷 in July …. filled with horses shows in Fontainebleau and near Deauville … and art studio time prepping for a VERY BUSY Autumn including artwork scheduled November art events: Galerie Kubota (Tokyo, JAPAN 🇯🇵) organized by Denis Cornet Galerie THUILLIER Paris and the Dutch Equine Art Fair organized by Paard Verzameld at Living Horse Museum Amsterdam 🇳🇱.  

🖼️ New Art

Since my last newsletter, I’ve been busy in the art studio working on new oil paintings and wrapping up several commissions … and completing a few pieces for the 1-week art challenges organized by Paard Verzameld’s International Equine Art Collective that are always a GREAT OPPORTUNITY to explore different styles and techniques to EVOLVE as an artist.

As I like to weave traditional Representational style into Impressionist atmosphere …. I feel there is still a way to go 🎨 .  I’m using opportunities like art exhibitions in Tokyo and Amsterdam to push the creativity out further.    

📣 Stay tuned for a little email in the very near future revealing the two paintings series destined for Tokyo (November 2025).

🏆 Recognition
In the past few months I was honored to receive the PRIX Arts Majestic Galerie Montsûrs at the International Salons des Arts Paris organized by the Académie Européene des Arts-France (May 2025).  I was then delighted to also receive awards from LightSpaceTime International Online Art Competitions in June and July: 10th place Overall/6th Place Painting Category & Special Recognition (“Cityscapes”), and Special Recognition (“Summer”).

📅 Upcoming Show

Temporary art work station, Gordes

🇫🇷  Suite à l'accident du mois de mars (une fracture de la cheville et rupture des ligaments du genou), je retournerai à l'hôpital fin mai pour une 2ème opération. Alors… Je suis très occupée dans l’atelier avec plusieurs toiles d'art équin en cours pour les expositions d'art de juillet dont une « Paris 2024 à Cheval » dédiée aux Jeux Olympiques : Galerie 39 Barbizon (22 juillet – 4 août) et Galerie Thuillier Paris 3 (19 juillet – 1er août). Restez à l'écoute. 😊 🐴

[🇺🇸  Following the March accident with broken ankle and ruptured knee ligaments, I am going back into hospital end of May for 2nd surgery.   SO spent a little time at the temporary art studio in Gordes catching some sun… and … very BUSY. I can’t wait to share new equine art paintings for July art shows including one “Paris 2024 à Cheval” dedicated to the Olympics: : Galerie 39 Barbizon (22 July – 4 Aug) and Galerie Thuillier Paris 3 (19 July – 1 August).

 Stay tuned.  😊 🐴 ]

Hello Spring

Great memories and special thanks to Médiathéque de Fontainebleau and Fontainebleau Cheval for organizing this lovely equine event.

🇫🇷  Le printemps est là… mais un tout petit peu frais 🥶 . L'événement d'art équin QUINZAINE DU CHEVAL à Fontainebleau termine aujourd’hui avec des bonheurs et des bons souvenirs. Alors, quelle est la suite ?  Apres un accident bête en mars, je me déplace plus lentement avec des béquilles (fracture de la cheville et rupture de 2 ligaments au genou). Je ne monte plus à cheval pour le moment… mais je suis très occupée dans l’atelier (nouvelles toiles et des commandes).

Aucune exposition d'art n'est prévue avant juillet pour me concentrer sur de nouvelles œuvres à l'approche des Jeux Olympiques (juillet - Galerie 39 Barbizon et Galerie Thuillier Paris 3). Je vais commencer de dévoiler des nouvelles toiles à l’huile bientôt. Voir la photo en bas, un petit aperçu d'un nouveau tableau.

En attendant et si la météo le permet (avec béquilles) je serai au Printemps des Sports Équestres (Le Grand Parquet, FONTAINEBLEAU) weekend le 27 et 28 avril pour voir des épreuves CDI 5* CSI 5* 😊 🐴

[🇺🇸  Spring is here  … albeit a wee bit cold 🥶.  Just wrapping up QUINZAINE DU CHEVAL Fontainebleau equine art event, full of good times. So what is next? Following my silly accident in March, I am moving slower on crutches (ankle fracture and 2 ruptured knee ligaments). I may not be riding horses … but very busy in art studio (new paintings and commissions).

No art shows planned until July to focus on new artwork in the run up to the Olympics (July - Galerie 39 Barbizon and Galerie Thuillier Paris 3).  I’ll start to release new oil paintings shortly. The photo below is a little peak of one new painting.

In the meanwhile and if weather permits (with crutches) I plan to be at Printemps des Sports Équestres (Le Grand Parquet, FONTAINEBLEAU) weekend 27-28 April to catch CDI 5* CSI 5* 😊 🐴 ]

Paard Verzameld Storytellers’ Expo (20-21 Aug)

[Repost from https://www.paardverzameld.com/storytellers]

Each horse has a story to tell​.

This summer, De Paardenkamp and Paard Verzameld are jointly holding a unique art exhibition devoted entirely to horses in art. The farms of De Paardenkamp form the backdrop for this international horse art manifestation, the first of its kind.

​Never before in the Netherlands have so many artists with a passion for horses come together at such a beautiful, peaceful location in the midst of nature. Artists from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and France [including me] will take you into their world of horse art. 

​Through the eyes of the artists, residents of De Paardenkamp will tell their story. They play the leading role: intriguing, moving, fantastic or subdued. The art exhibition is not called 'Storytellers' for nothing. Through the work and meetings with the artists, you will learn more about these special horses and their stories.

No fewer than 25 international artists will be coming together for this unique, two-day event. A walking route across the farmyard of both Gagelgat and Vosseveld connects the exhibited works, which include paintings, watercolours, drawings and bronze sculptures.

​Come and listen to our storytellers and discover the stories for yourself!

Where? De Paardenkamp, Soest, The Netherlands (20 minutes from Utrecht)

When? 20-21 August 2022 (vernissage: 19 August 2022)
