Since almost everything we paint is traditional one-sixth scale miniature paintings we do not require a large work area. Both of us currently paint using upright table easels. We installed the large picture window to enhance the view of our back yard and deck. We try to take breaks every 15 minutes or so to avoid eye strain painting such intricate details. Looking out the window at the birds and playful squirrels is a welcome diversion.
	We remodeled our studio in April of 2004 and included in the design an area to display a few of our miniatures. We both enjoy a variety of home improvement projects.
	One side of our studio. The room also doubles as our office.
	Spikey's section of the studio where he plays when he's not sitting on Rachelle's shoulder. Some of our older/ larger works are on the walls.
	The portion of our basement that we use as a framing area.
	Our pool table/ ping pong table doubles as a staging area when we prepare for shows.	Wes has hundreds of precut mats ready to place into service.
	Our tools used to assemble the miniature framing.	We typically stock about 200 various frames.
