DAVID SHEPHERD MARITIME ART

DAVID SHEPHERD MARITIME ART


David Shepherd's paintings of wildlife and his passion for its conservation are what most people associate with this immensely talented and popular artist, but his interests extend far beyond this as his painting 'Glory Days' shows.

His first two loves in fact, were steam engines and aviation and the latter led him to the Royal Air Force in the late 1950's. He travelled extensively with the Air Force as their guest and this afforded him the opportunity of painting a wide range of military, landscape and wildlife subjects.

David has wanted to paint a battleship for a long time and his passion for the subject and his country is illustrated in this magnificent painting

Defence by Derek Gardner

Defence by Derek Gardner
Defence fought with Nelson at his great victories of the Nile (1798), Copenhagen (1801) and Trafalgar (1805). Her end in 1811 was tragic. In a winter storm in the North Sea when returning home from the Baltic, she went to the assistance of the disabled 98-Gun St. George off the Jutland coast. Both ships were driven ashore with the terrible loss of 1314 officers and men out of 1335.

RICHARD GRENVILLE

RICHARD GRENVILLE

Richard was born in Hove Sussex and at the age of just six months he started his long association with ships. First he crossed the Atlantic by Liner, moved from the USA to Barbados and onto Singapore where he began sailing at a very early age. When he was 11 years old the family took the slow route by cargo ship back to the UK. Whilst growing up he spent many happy hours on the water in the varied boats his father owned and as a family they spent nearly all their summer holidays yachting. An activity he still enjoys today.

A graduate of Brighton College of Art and Design he left with a First (1.1) degree. After spending over a decade in Design and Architecture he became a full time artist in 1989. Mostly working for Architectural, Aviation and Military clients he has also done much work in the off shore Oil and Gas Exploration sector. He has had many maritime painting commissions including book illustration and exhibited several times with the Royal Society of Marine Artists in London.
