Framed Landscape Oil on Canvas Painting Titled "Ouray", Shirley Petersen, 1981

About the Item

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. About the artist: Shirley Petersen has won numerous awards in oil and watercolor. Shirley's painting coney a feeling many of us share and most of us relate to. Having grown up in the Midwest it is easy to understand why Shirley's paintings reflect the "down-home" rural influence that they do. With her delicate brush, Shirley transforms the simplest subjects into permanent reflections of our everyday lives, it is this "close to the earth" artistic feeling that attracts the viewer. But it is also this easy feeling that makes Shirley's paintings restful art that we all can live with and enjoy day after day for years to come. Shirley was a dedicated instructor for the Ponca City Art Association. Her paintings hang in private and corporate collections throughout the Mid-west. Dimensions: 26" wide 22.5" tall 1.5" deep.

Expressionist Tactile Botanical Oil on Canvas Painting Framed
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
An exquisite example of this artist's traditional take on still-life realism, and a masterpiece in its own rite. This floral painting represents the artist's awe for botanical and floral scenes as well as his or her adept knowledge of tactile painting. With broad sweeping strokes and high texture, the artist paints a portrait of a small circular Ombre deep blue vase, filled with creamy white ranunculus or buttercups with berry color centers, green eucalyptus and small accents of white hydrangea. Oil on canvas. Framed roughly in a small wood frame, with gilt painted accent inside. How we would display: A botanical painting will forever bring a certain feeling of femininity and softness to a room. This piece would be wonderful displayed in a space with too many harsh lines. Alternatively, we suggest hanging this as part of a grouping of other floral portraits on a large wall to add interest. Another favorite of ours for art is to display pieces on their own in a bedroom. Such as a guestroom or child's room.
