Miniature Paintings of Mammals

Why So Tiny? Wes & Rachelle Siegrist render nearly all their miniature paintings to the exacting standards of formal miniature art societies: small size, reduced scale and refined technique. Their technique will not disappoint under close inspection, even through a magnifying glass! These paintings are gems of fine art for enhancing existing collections. The Artists both currently render their intricate techniques in opaque watercolor.

Quotes About Miniature Art

"With their small size they can be carefully preserved and are even now handed down as heirlooms. In medieval times ther were a portable treasure, available for ransom or survival. Whatever the reason, miniatures are the gems of the nineties, as shown by the increase in gallery and competitive shows and their escalation in value. Miniatures are timetaking; they demand rigid control and follow all the principles of art. Their importance is not in size but in quality. Being viewed closely they must be perfect; are usually done under magnification and are painted to last." 1994 MASF Exhibition Catalogue
