Internationally renowned wildlife artist and conservationist David
Shepherd was a man who liked to think big - and in the long-term. As
founder and president of the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation, David's
enthusiasm for painting wildlife, steam trains and RAF aircraft came not
just from the act itself, but from his paintings' ability to convey the
importance of preserving and protecting these invaluable assets for
generations to come. David's artistic talents, incredible achievements,
foibles, eccentricities and larger-than-life character are fully
documented into one absorbing volume - which is no mean feat! With
access to family archives and photos, private diaries, anecdotes and
reminiscences, sale-of-painting details, plus never-before-seen
paintings and some pencil sketches only discovered after his death,
Jeremy Hobson is able to create a unique portrait of a truly remarkable
man.
