There are many ways of telling people about the things you believe in, but few can be as effective as David Shepherd's paintings. With canvas and brush he says more about his lifelong passion-Africa and its animals- than a thousand books could ever do.
What we see in Shepherd's paintings is not simply the technical ability to distinguish and reproduce the delicate colouring of a kudu, or the mountainous strength of a rhino, or the threatening movement of a suspicious elephant, but so much more besides: a deep and convinced love of nature and an over-whelming sense of responsibility towards a continent and its magnificent natural heritage so threatened by mankind.
In this first-ever collection of his paintings, David Shepherd pleads a cause that is both just and urgent. With his paintings he repays Africa for the enormous pleasure and enjoyment that it constantly affords him.
