David Shepherd (artist)
Richard David Shepherd CBE FRSA FGRA (born 25 April 1931) is a British artist and one of the world's most outspoken conservationists. He is most famous for his paintings of steam locomotives (he owns a number of them) and wildlife, although he also often paints aircraft, portraits (notably The Queen Mother) and landscapes. His work has been extremely popular since the 1960s in limited edition print reproduction and poster form, as well as other media such as Wedgwood limited edition plates. He has written five books about his art,〔(Foundation Website, accessed 11 April 2008 )〕 including an autobiography.〔Shepherd, David, "The Man Who Loves Giants: An Artist Among Elephants and Engines," (1975, Charles Scribner's Sons)(ISBN 068414509X).〕
==Life and work==
David Shepherd was born in Hendon, London, England. As a child he lived in Totteridge, North London and he won a children's painting competition in a magazine called ''Nursery World'' when he was eight years old. He then attended Stowe School in Buckinghamshire. Upon leaving school he travelled to Kenya with the hope of becoming a game warden, but was rejected. 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."〔Brown, Neal. ("David Shepherd" ), ''frieze'', March – April 2000. Retrieved 11 April 2008.〕 David Gower said, "There is a sense of the atmosphere of the African bush that emanates from all his work."〔
