I am almost at the point of being able to get my computer and Raymond Sheppard resources up and running again. Re-plastering a house is a very tiresome thing and if you ever need anyone to persuade you to move out while it's done, contact me!
Paul Liss and Sacha Llewellyn has announced their new year sale and this one contains 27 pieces by Raymond Sheppard. Starting prices begin at £200 and go all the way up to £1,860
I've grouped them together under themes to show them slightly differently than they are presented on the Liss Llewellyn Fine Art page. Click the link under each picture to be taken to the complete description on LLFA. I'm sure I shall get round to writing more about each of the magazine articles below at some point. Watch this space!

FAMILY SKETCHES
I really love the child studies and portraits that Sheppard did of his two children Christine and Michael. The one showing Christine drawing at the table is so evocative. Anyone who has had children will have spotted just such a moment.

A superb artist, Norman, who I don't think I was aware of him until I discovered your blogsite - so thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteThat's the reason for me doing this Kid. Thanks for the feedback, it keeps me (and you too I'm sure) going!
DeleteThe blog is new to me, as well. It came through your profile. You will know Sheppard trained under S G Boxsius. Members of the family have recently sent me some drawings by him and it's interesting to compare teacher and pupil. Stand by for a post on Modern Printmakers.
DeleteGordon/Haji
Great to hear from you Haji. I really enjoy your blog and see your love of Boxius.
DeleteDid you ever get my photos of my grandmother's German prints?
