Ross King, “Defiant Spirits: The Modernist Revolution of the Group of Seven”, Vancouver/Kleinburg, 2011, page 393
An associate and friend to members of the Group of Seven, Ross King identifies the high calibre of P.C. Sheppard's work, “a gifted painter of wilderness landscapes, maritime scenes and majestic Toronto cityscapes.” King focuses especially upon Sheppard's depictions of the city, such works revealing the painter “...as a rare talent, well versed in modern painterly techniques and possessed of a visionary approach to the urban landscape.”
