A soft impressionist oil painting on canvas by Shirley Petersen. This piece depicts a forest of lush green and yellow Autumn Ferns. It is presented in a pale blue frame with metallic details and a hanging wire at back for easy installation. Titled "Ouray" and signed at back by the artist, 1981.
This piece originally hung in the Frontier Federal Savings & Loan in Ponca City, Oklahoma in the 1980s. This was a significant period in Oklahoma's banking history, and for oil and gas in general, as it was just after the fall of the Penn Square Bank, which led to the crash of the oil market.
