Miniature Portrait Paintings

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

"All too often in the commercial world, we are overwhelmed with monumental images, distracting sound bites, and overall visual clutter. This exhibition causes each of us to pause quietly and look closely at the meticulous skill with which the subjects are rendered, as reflected in the patient attention to detail, artistic expression, and the ideal of perfection." Ken Rollins, Executive Director Gulf Coast Museum of Art 2003 MASF Exhibition Catalogue

"In the author's opinion the mouth is the single most important feature of a miniature portrait and must be absolutely correct. The slightest error will ruin a likeness - an error so small that its dimensions cannot be measured - even smaller than the point of a brush." Bill Mundy RMS, Artist and Author Portrait Miniatures
