Original oil pastel character portrait of a western cowboy by celebrated, twentieth-century California landscape painter, Ronald Shap. "Ol' California." 17x23 inches. Signed. Only flaw to note is one chip in edge of paper, as pictured. Should not be visible when framed. Ronald Shap was born in Toledo, OH and lived most of his life in California. The brother of acclaimed portrait artist Sylvia Shap, he was a scholarship award graduate at the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1964 and completed graduate study in painting at the University of Nebraska and Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles in 1967. He was a visiting artist and instructor at BGSU in 1973-74 and worked out of his Los Angeles studio and taught drawing and anatomy at Citrus College until his retirement in 2005.
