Assorted Animals
Puffin
My wife loves Elephants, Robins and Puffins. We have lots of David Shepherd elephant prints around the house and I don't think I can compete with that.
But a Puffin? that wasn't quite so daunting; so this was for a birthday present. A Robin for Christmas?

NOT FOR SALE AT ANY PRICE!!
But if you'd like one just ask!
Kingfisher
When our children were young we had a holiday near Crewkerne in Somerset. We visited the Wetlands and Wildfowl Trust at Slimbridge and were lucky enough to see a Kingfisher.
Created for our son Keith for Christmas 2015.
Acrylic on 9" x 12" Canvas board.
Elephant Calf
Well, I said I would not attempt an Elephant but I was convinced to TRY and copy a David Shepherd picture. I thought it would be easy, but using acrylics to emulate a picture done in oils is VERY difficult, believe me. David Shepherd probably took 20 minutes to create his; mine took hours! My wife likes it though. I hope David will forgive me if he ever finds out.
This is a scan of David Shepherd's original.
