The Shepherds : Two Lives in Art
The Rooms Provincial Art Gallery examines the Shepherds' artistic production over the last half-century, bringing to light relatively unknown works in private hands as well as presenting favorites from the collections in the care of the Gallery. As Helen became well known for her commissioned portraits and meticulous still-lives, Reginald concentrated on atmospheric serigraphs and watercolours of Newfoundland, and the occasional site-specific painting, such as the Atlantic Place mural and an altarpiece for St. Patrick's Church, which is included in the exhibition.
