Elephants of Samburu, painted in 1964 by renowned wildlife artist David Shepherd. This powerful original captures a majestic herd of elephants in Kenya’s Samburu region, reflecting Shepherd’s commitment to conservation and realism. His detailed brushwork and earthy palette bring the African landscape vividly to life. Available through Gladwell & Patterson, specialists in exceptional wildlife and fine art since 1746.

  • David Shepherd is regarded by many as being the worlds leading wildlife artist. He started his artistic career as an aviation artist, and an early commission for the RAF took him to Kenya where David painted his first wildlife subject and he never looked back.

     

    David's love of wildlife is apparent in all aspects of his life. In 1984 he established the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation to fund vital enforcement and community projects that protect wildlife survival in the natural habitat, and has since received many conservationist awards including an OBE.

     

    David's distinctive style stems from a personal attachment with the animals of Kenya. His impasto brushwork in the foreground contrasted with the detailed and intricate depiction of the wild animals highlights the details of the rich African terrain and the fragility of the animals within.
