Jenness Cortez?
 

I found a old painting. Its signed and dated.... The date is 1977. It is framed and on the back says it is a original. How do I find out what its worth? I know nothing about this painter except she does Saratoga stuff. I have no use for it. I went to a few sights that want money down to try to sell it, I dont want to do that. Anyone who can help pm me.

She's actually a woman, I have a real nice painting of hers of Arabians, she had a shop in Arcadia here by Santa Anita last I knew, didn't know she moved to the East.

I just went to yahoo and realized she is a woman. Thanks though. Based on what I am seeing its either worth a ton, or nothing.
The picture I have I do not see on any site, Its not numbered though. How do I tell if its a copy/original? Im sure thats probablly important.

Why don't you Google her and contact her, I had a nice conversation with her once at Santa Anita, she has painted a lot of famous Thoroughbreds, I asked if she painted Arabians and she sent me the one I have, she's pretty accessible as I remember calling her and thanking her.

I have the three field of dreams series, #3, a lithograph of Secretariat and Man O War was tough to find (it may have been reprinted since I got it but this was one of the original prints)
