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.

And finally, Sheppard produced a few abstract pictures. One wonders if the cancer treatment at the end of his life produced these strange dreamscapes. Liss-Llewellyn have called this "Sea Forms"
