Subtle and descriptive watercolor (20" x 25") of four horses standing in rain water--titled "Rain", by Craig Sheppard (1913-1978). You can almost feel the gentle rain falling on you! Piece is matted, unframed (mat cut by Sheppard shows his pencil cut marks and artwork is taped to mat with masking tape), a time when artist's were not much concerned with archival processes!!! Although the paper is archival, the reverse shows some mold damage and some foxing.

Craig Sheppard was born in Lawton, Oklahoma, in 1913. His connection to Nevada began in 1947 when he arrived in Reno to serve as chair of the University of Nevada’s art department. His love for cowboy life was deeply rooted in his own experience as a rodeo rider in the arenas of Oklahoma. 25" x 20"
