about the artwork
"I try to capture the animal's personality in each painting that I do. I ask questions concerning the pet's quirks and attitude. What are some of the more endearing qualities of the animal? I like to use color and I always paint on wooden panels. I can paint on any size panel and can put more than one pet on a painting as well. It all depends upon what the individual needs." -- Laurie Russell
