Purple irises in a glass jar, an oil painting by Don James WestA framed oil painting of a sunlit woodland fence by Don James WestAn impressionist interpretation of a summer pasture with a large copse of trees and a rolling hill with a tree line in the distance.

The use of only the three primaries and white provide a natural cohesiveness to the color scheme.A winding country road beside a wooden fence, an oil painting by Don James West

“I have been painting since childhood.”

My work comes from a lifelong admiration of traditional American landscapes, quiet rural scenes, classic still lifes, and intimate nature scenes.
