Robert (Bob) West has been painting in oils for most of his adult life.

By trade, he was a helicopter and airplane technician as well as a pilot. 

This explains his love of painting aviation art. 

Bob is now a truck driver for Fed Ex in Mountain Home, Idaho. 

Bob also has a love for the ocean and sailboats that shows in his seascape paintings.

Bob creates original work in oil on canvas.  He tries to capture his feelings about the scene he is painting,

and in doing so, tell a story that the viewer will respond to. 

Bob met his wife, and fellow artist Virgia, while pursuing his art in California.
They reside in Mountain Home, Idaho.

Bob accepts commission work, painting from your original photographs.
