The artist
Painted with a lifetime of looking.
Don James West is an artist who has been painting since childhood. His work is rooted in a lifelong admiration of traditional American landscapes, quiet rural scenes, classic still lifes, and intimate nature scenes.

One sitting, one honest response.
Don works alla prima, painting directly and decisively while the first impression is still present. With thick paint and exclusive use of a palette knife, the surface holds onto the energy of that first look.
Each painting is signed on the front and verso, then finished with Gamvar varnish for lasting protection.
