Commissions

Having done commissioned artwork for my whole career, I enjoy it and I’m good at it. I’m good at listening, asking stupid questions and following instructions, resulting in an easygoing and satisfying experience for the customer. I am dedicated to exceeding your expectations.

The whole process starts with a consultation. I will develop sketches and variations of ideas, and then present a final sketch.  I have the ability to create a mockup or rendering of what the finished piece will look like in your home. You will have an opportunity to request a change or revision, and then I will develop a finished oil painting and make a custom frame.

Call (510) 384-4995 or send a message to begin.

Pricing is dependent on the size of the piece. A 50% deposit is required for work to begin.

The images above are examples of commissioned artwork, including portraits, pet portraits, city scenes and art in the homes of some of my favorite collectors.

Framing

Christopher Peterson makes a custom floater frame for every piece offered on the web site. For commissions and other artworks, prices are by the size. Here’s a price list.
