This book is a collaboration
between the author and Raymond Sheppard's
family. Christine Sheppard had been cataloguing her father's paintings and
sketches which had been stored since his death in 1958. Christine and her
brother decided it was time that something was done with the collection. This
book is a permanent record of that collection, made before the collection was
dispersed.
Raymond Sheppard was a superb observer and draughtsman with the ability to draw
any subject. His early death meant there was not a lot written about him or by
him. His contemporaries are no longer with us, so this is mainly a book of
paintings with extracts from his drawing books written in the 1950's.
