Bearnise Mt. Dog by Laurie Palmberg

They remind me of a small St. Bernard. Actually they are similiar in a lot of ways. I know someone who used to raise them & took them to dog shows almost every weekend.

Black Cat by Laurie Palmberg



Oil on 8 X 10 $55

This is similiar to a cat my sister had years ago.
She loved that cat and was beside herself when she died.
Some times I think she thought the cat was part human.

Bullet, my dog



Oil 8 X 10 Gift
He's a Jack Russell, Terrier mix. He has long legs & black spots like
a dalmation. The spots are hidden & we didn't know it until his coat
was cut down. Surprise! It was a big one. He's the smartest dog
I have ever had. What an enjoyable guy he is. Got him from
the pound, where I like to get dogs. Usually get really great
dogs from there.

Jack Russell by Laurie Palmberg



6 X 8 Oil on hardboard $55

The Jack Russell's are nice dogs. My neighbor years ago in
California had one. He would come right on in the house if
the door was open. He would go straight out the back & jump
into the lake which was his only way of getting home. He was
a fun guy. Very smart dogs.

Lena - SOLD



8 X 10 Oil on Hardboard SOLD
This was a commission painting I did for a high school classmate
who thought enough of my painting to want this of his dog Lena.
This was my first white dog which was a challenge as I had to
learn how to bring those slightly hiden darker colors out white
showing the white that was the prominate color. I hope he enjoys
this for years to come. Enjoy Scott!!!

Doberman Pinscher



Oil on hardboard 11 X 14 $55
I am starting to love to do these dogs. Each dog is a
completely new and very different challenge. This started
when someone wanted me to paint a dog for his daughter. I
am getting more requests to do a new and different dog.
I wanted to make this dobie look kind not mean as many think
of them. They can be very sweet dogs. How they are raised
can & will make the difference.

One of the smartest dogs. Probablly why they are used for police
work and for handicape service dogs. They can range from sandy color to having a lot of black.

Beagle by Laurie Palmberg



5 X 7 Oil on hardboard

This was done from a picture someone sent me.
This is my first commissioned painting but it's
actually a practice as we haven't set the size yet.

I have done 2 dogs before this that are presents.
The hardest is to get the eyes & mouth right.
The eyes I think show a happy dog.

Yellow Lab



6 X 6 Oil

We used to have a yellow lab but it died a few years ago.
I thought I would paint this for a present. The hard part
was doing it while she was gone as she lives with me.
