"There are plenty of quality framers in Washington D.C., but I buy my frames from Minnesota's Metropolitan Picture Framing. Their work is top quality. Prices are competitive. Service is courteous, and shipping is prompt. What a relief! No more carting canvases back and forth, no more city traffic, no more parking tickets. Thank you Metropolitan."

Artist's Statement

The unifying element of Mr. Peterson's painting is objective form, expressively rendered. He believes that paint is capable of creating form and simultaneously expressing its own essence.

He paints in oil. The paintings evolve over many sessions. The surfaces are progressively built up. Colors and forms are altered and moved with each new layer.

The sources for his recent imagery are varied - ranging from reflections on his childhood on a dairy farm to investigations of masterworks of art history.

His fundamental belief is that painting is about the beauty with which lines and planes and colors are brought into harmony. He sees painting as continuous problem solving and decision making.
