I bought an original( I think) Jean Ekman Adams ink/watercolor. I can not find the name of it on line..Help?

Question

I bought a professionaly framed picture today by Jean Ekman Adams. It was framed/matted in Taos New Mexico. It has 5 horses getting ready for a race with jockey animals on their backs. Other animals are on a fence waiting for the race to start(possibly) with wager tickets in hands.
I would like to know the name of this artwork and when it was originally drawn/painted. It is quite nice and I am happy I found it at a thrift store here in Florida today. Many people get rid of great art work here in Florida...
I have found several examples of Jean Ekman Adams artwork but can not find this piece..Thanks in advance for any information..

Answer 1

According to this...

Working in pen and ink with acrylic washes, Jean Ekman Adams depicts animals in unexpected settings and Southwest primitive folk art of Native American children. Her bronzes reflect both themes. Jean was born in 1942 in Evanston, Illinois, and studied at DePauw University. She received a BA in English from Arizona State University. Her father, Stan Ekman, was a well-known artist who painted western and landscape realism. As a child, Jean was encouraged to express herself artistically. She has the same penchant for details that her father expressed in his painting, however, she chose to pursue a whimsical theme in her imagery. Jean's latest series of delightful story-images features a pig named Clarence and a purple-colored horse. Clarence goes out West and finds a purple horse that he names Smoky. They become good friends and share many adventures together. Her scenes are semi biographical; Jean has a friend named Clarence and she often rides in the Arizona desert with him and his horse named Smoky - however, Smoky is not purple! Winner of many awards and an UNICEF artist for 1992, 1994, 1995 and a finalist for 1996, her work appears in Christmas cards, graphic design and textbook illustration. Joan Cawley Gallery, Ltd. in Tempe, Arizona prints her posters. Jean's paintings are light, clean, elegant and very detailed in clear vibrant colors. Her delightful paintings and bronzes are in collections in the United States and in Europe. The artist works in Arizona in the winter months and in Colorado in the summer. She lives with her husband, son, horse, dogs, cats, and a 22-year-old mule named Sugar.

...she is still alive. You may be able to contact her publisher, Rising Moon Books and they may be able to pass along your question to her about the print.
