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 am not positive about a painting I have, its signed Robert Shepherd, landscape of a homestead farm on a lake with rocks and evergreens. It’s painted on canvas board. Anyone here willing to take a look at it?
There can only be one Watercolor King. Yes you are!
It might be the same artist. Were they in California at the time?
Robert 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.
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.
