Wilbur Smith paintings for sale

In the 1980's John Harris was commissioned by Secker and Warburg to produce covers for all the Wilbur Smith novels. This was the perfect opportunity for him to show his ability to paint evocative landscapes, and with many set in Africa this was going to involve some wonderful strong colour. The covers were felt to be one of the most successful sets produced, and now John is offering the originals for sale. Some are already on the website, and more will follow.

There are some examples above and if there are any other titles in particular which you'd be interested in seeing do let me know. He is asking for £400 per painting. They're painted in acrylics on board, and they measure 12 x 17 in. (30 x 43 cms)
