Hello!

February is always a busy ‘art event’ month and this year came with no exception.

February started out with such wonderful news …

I was honored to receive Special Mention Award at the Galerie Thuillier Prix du Jury Art Event on Tuesday 3 February. It meant a lot to have my work recognized.

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

Galerie 39 Barbizon

The summer also brings my annual solo Equine Art Show at Galerie 39 Barbizon. Last year it was held in July coinciding with the Paris 2024 Olympics.
