I love painting commissions!
Handmade, commissioned, one-of-a-kind paintings make great gifts people will enjoy forever. You can email me a landscape photo and I can get to work as soon as possible. Here’s a commission I finished just last night:
Examples of commissions and their source photos:
Here are some ideas for picking out a landscape photo:
A favorite place
A favorite national or local park
A view from a home or summer retreat
A scene from a recent or favorite holiday
If you don’t have a photo of the scene you want, you might find one on the internet. For instance, the source photo for the painting on the right came from a famous black and white Ansel Adams photo.
The neighborhood
It’s nice to have a painting that reminds you of your neighborhood pride.
House portrait
A picture of a person’s home past or present
Limited availability
It takes 1-2 weeks to finish a painting and then 3 weeks to dry. So the time to order a commission is now before I get booked up for the season!
Commission Process is easy
1) Email me a photo you’d like me to use as reference and the size you’d like for the painting to alex@alexroediger.com (see size options below). The photo should be of a landscape or building exterior.
2) I’ll confirm availability, price and timing.
3) Once you confirm the commission I’ll get to work and send you a photo of the work when it’s near completion to ensure you’re happy with the result. All paintings are made with oil paint on one inch deep wood panels which are ready to hang.
4) The painting will need 3 weeks to dry and will then be shipped free of charge (U.S. only) via 2 day USPS delivery.
SIZES & PRICES
Size options can vary but are typically as follows:
8 x 10 inches: $200
14 x 18 inches: $320

“It was perfect”
“This was a gift to my father for his birthday; this painting is from a photo my father took. He was thrilled with it and told me it was perfect. My father has only had it for a short time but has already received multiple unsolicited compliments from guests about it. Alex was very communicative and responsive during the process, would definitely commission from him again and recommend him to others.”
