Shepard had a great deal of admiration for nature, evident in his landscape paintings. Though was his genre of choice, he rarely exhibited them. His painting, Hudson River Scene, finished in 1861, depicts a golden past. Two ornately dressed Native Americans gaze across the Hudson River. In the river below he placed a man in a rowboat as a reference to the journey through life, and to represent himself in his piece. This was a favored theme of his which he frequently recreated in landscapes. In this particular scene, his subject matter symbolizes the passage through time and the fading of the golden age into modernity. Shepard created most of his landscapes based on the Susquehanna River close to the New York-Pennsylvania state line near Athens, Pennsylvania.[6]
