Don West

NATURE IN MOTION

Don West allowed his artistic talent to lie fallow for fifty years even though, as a child, he had won acclamation and encouragement for his youthful endeavours from educator Arthur Lismer (Group of Seven artist). Now, as of April 2007, he has finally taken brush in hand once again to pursue that talent. Don explores “Nature in Motion”. In doing so, he is producing canvasses that:

· interpret plants as personified objects full of human emotions. · present still life subjects in full motion · evoke the sense of time passing, rich harvests, old friends and half forgotten memories· engage the viewer’s imagination.

Don has exhibited at:

   2007 and 2008 Fall For Art (East Hawkesbury)
