The Miniature Paintings of Wes & Rachelle Siegrist

News for Friend!


August 2018 ~ Next Issue: September 2018 

The Good Ole Summertime!

Dear Friend,  
Well, it is strange given the internet and our worldwide following that some of our readers are experiencing winter weather but here in the Smokies, it's still summertime.  Fortunately, the oppressive heat and humidity seem to have abated and we've been enjoying more fun in the river tubing, swimming, and snorkeling.  We have also been relaxing in our kayaks and riding around Townsend on our bikes.  It's our 1-2 hour daily escape from the studio (which really we've been enjoying lately) and the grind of the office work.  Just this week, Wes spent a couple days at the computer downloading and organizing over 45,000 files for the Society of Animal Artists!  Hopefully, it will soon be as organized and easy to maintain as our own business.  Despite these tasks, Wes is also finding time to paint although not quite as much as Rachelle lately.

Here are some of our latest works off our easels:
 
Rhino Painting by Rachelle Siegrist














"Basking Behemoths" by Rachelle, 3.5 x 5.5 inches (for SEWE)

museum painting by Rachelle Siegrist
"Admiring Bastien-Lepage's 'The Wood Gatherer' " by Rachelle, 2.5 x 3.5 inches 
Hawk painting by Wes Siegrist
"Southern Sentinel" by Wes, 3.5 x 5.5 inches (For SEWE)
 
Thank you to everyone who took advantage of our Special Offer!  We hope to see you all at one of our upcoming shows!
From August 1st, 2018 – January 1st, 2019, the tour will be at  The Stamford Museum & Nature Center in Stamford, CT.  We will be at the museum Thursday, August 2nd from 6-8PM for the Opening Reception and also the following afternoon, Friday from 1-3PM for a Gallery Walk to discuss our paintings in the exhibition.  Wes will also be giving a presentation on the history of miniature art.

We're happy to announce the 37th venue has signed onto the historic tour!  The exhibition will now include The Evelyn Burrow Museum in Hanceville, AL in 2022!

Would you like to see Exquisite Miniatures in your area?  Please feel free to suggest museum venues especially if you have a contact relationship with the staff!

Paintings are being sold on the tour and shipped to collectors at the close of that venue. Copies of our books are usually available in the museum gift shops too! The EM Tour is the only place where you can still purchase copies of Exquisite Miniatures by Wes & Rachelle Siegrist (Less than a dozen copies remain!)
