Richard David Shepherd Cbe FRSA FGRA (25 April 1931 - 19 September 2017) was a British artist and one of the world's most outspoken conservationists. He was most famous for his paintings of steam locomotives (he owned a number of them) and wildlife, although he also often painted aircraft, portraits (notably The Queen Mother) and landscapes. His work has been extremely popular since the 1960s in limited editionprint reproduction and poster form, as well as other media such as Wedgwood limited edition plates. He published five books about his art, including an autobiography.
David Shepherd was born in Hendon, London, England. As a child he lived in Totteridge, North London. Upon leaving school he travelled to Kenya with the hope of becoming a game warden, but was rejected as having "no talent whatsoever". He returned to the UK but was rejected by the Slade School of Fine Art in London. However, he was taken in by the artist Robin Goodwin who trained him for three years. Neal Brown said in Frieze magazine:
"David Shepherd is one of the most financially rewarded painters in the UK... Shepherd has brought pleasure to millions, as seen on the many table mats, posters and commemorative plates that bear his work." David Gowersaid, "There is a sense of the atmosphere of the African bush that emanates from all his work." Shepherd died on 19 September 2017 from the effects of Parkinson's disease. Karen Botha, the Ceo of the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation (Dswf), said; "David’s passion for wildlife and the role of man in its demise infuriated and inspired him. He was dedicated, tenacious and outspoken, a champion of animals and the people who worked to protect them. He will be greatly missed
Artist biography Peter Jepson, a British artist who grew up in North West London before World Waar 2 in 1936, he worked in the forces the RAF for a couple of years working as a radar technician after he finished his national service he decided to become a full time artist. He painted mainly in oil. He then created his own mixed media technique using pastel with watercolours and he adored painting wildlife animals. His works are influenced by David Shepherd, this work is of equal parity in quality in our opinion. Jepson was chosen for membership in the British Society of painters in 1990 and the Fine Art Trade Guild in 1992 then a fellow of the Society of Artists. He did an exhibition in New York in the early 1990s then sold a selection of his works at Christies in London.
