A member of the Guild of Boston Artists, Sheehan is widely recognized as one of the premier modern American Tonalists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile best known for his atmospheric landscapes that invoke the French Barbizon School and 19th-century American Tonalism, Sheehan's foundation is built on rigorous academic study of light, dark values, and brushwork.
