This is a commissioned piece based upon the painting to the right (which was done in acrylic).  This one was done electronically and then printed on acrylic glass.  This allows light to come in through the back and really highlight the coloring of the painting.  The Jbene signature is also in this one.  You dont have to look closely to find it!

I have always liked the color and pagentry of a horse race and have a few paintings of the races.  This was my first attempt on wood and of a horse race.  In the signature series, the signature is well hidden.  But if you look at the horses to the left on this painting, you will see, the electronic painting to the left matches that spot.  

We recently adopted a baby dog.  When at the dog park a gentleman with a similar sized dog mentioned in a conversation that his dog was the same age and he adopted it at the same place.  He shared a picture of the litter, and gosh darn it, my dog was in the picture.
