Robert Shepherd Painting of Paradise Canyon in Southern Utah near St. George in personal art collection of Roland L. Lee
Robert Shepherd was one of my most revered mentors when I began painting. He passed away many years ago but I was fortunate to inherit his easel, taboret, and many of his personal art books. After selling my first gallery painting in 1980 I purchased one of Robert Shepherd's paintings with the proceeds -- and I still had to make time payments on it. But it hangs in my home proudly.
Today I was fortunate to acquire another full sheet original watercolor painting by Robert Shepherd from one of his major collectors and personal friends. I am thrilled with my new acquisition!
I have an original pencil sketch and water color painting by a Robert L. Shepherd. I am wondering if this is the artist who was your mentor. Mr. Shepherd knew my parents and gave it to them as a wedding gift in 1950.
ReplyDeleteRobert L. Shepherd was my great-uncle and we have several of his pieces in our home. Since his passing I've not been able to find places to purchase his work; only been able to see it at museums or in civic buildings. It's a beautiful piece.
ReplyDeleteIt might be the same artist. Were they in California at the time?

ReplyDeleteHi, I was wondering if you could possibly identify an abstract gouache (watercolour artwork) by an artist with the name Shepherd. The frame is dated 1989, more is not known. Of course I can email a photo of the piece if required

ReplyDeleteWe have several pieces by Robert Shepherd who was my father's cousin. I wonder where an appropriate repository would be after our deaths.

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI'm up in northern Utah and was recently fortunate enough to rescue a large Shepherd painting from a local thrift store. It's a beautiful southern Utah landscape. I'd love to know more about it if possible. I'm happy to forward pics .....my email is: scotter3065@yahoo.com Thanks Scott
