    The artists of Studio In The Sky know how to exceed your expectations. Dale and Brenda are the impeccable painting duo that look forward to recreating the most challenging images. Their industry expertise in multiple disciplines beyond painting, separate them from other artists. I have painted at a very large, and at a very small scale with these two passionate painters. I can honestly say, there are no boundaries for their capabilities. I feel any client that hires Studio in The Sky to transform their space, will be beyond delighted with the end result.

    I was very fortunate to purchase two pieces of their art that they donated to a charity auction. Now a beautiful painting resides in my living room and another in my office. I have since gotten to know them and have worked with them on other projects. Brenda and Dale are very nice, professional people who know their craft.

    We retained Dale's mural services in 2000. We had just recently purchased a small farm in which the barn overlooked a road passing through a valley. Dale visited the site and felt like it needed something historical related to farming in the valley. He found and proposed using Maxfield Parrish’s art from a 1920s era seed packet and changed the name of the seeds to the name of our valley. The whole project was a wonderful experience. Dale is an extremely creative professional that is fun to work with and is very passionate about his work.

    In review of Studio in the Sky. I have been lucky enough to watch Dale and Brenda Manor's work for several years now through some charity auction work they do annually for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland. Their attention to detail, focus on quality, and shear lifelike features make their work stand out miles above the rest.

    We were extremely happy to be able to get Studio In The Sky to paint our kitchen floor in 2002. We were in the middle of renovating an old farm house when we realized that the maple floor was not in that bad of shape. Initially we thought about painting a faux rug on the floor but after reviewing approximately fifty images from Dale, we agreed upon the "Kentucky Cardinal Apple" crate label. Our mural is now over 15 years old and has held up wonderfully. We highly reccommend Studio In The Sky for small to large scale projects.
