Stephen D. West presents "Nature Calls" in Fallbrook Art Center's Loo & Salon Galleries.

Stephen defines himself as a traditional naturalist. His need to paint the natural world stems from a lifetime love of the outdoors and a wish to keep it fresh in one's memory. Studying and observing nature, he brings to the viewer's attention the color, form, and beauty in nature's design. Each time Stephen steps out into nature, another impression is made in the ever-changing world that he is compelled to capture. His technical proficiency in capturing the subject and the essence of the place is evident in each painting. Personal observation or studying wildlife mounts is a very important part of his process. In his artwork he portrays his emotions and feelings towards his subject. He strives to lift the viewer to a heightened experience of appreciation for nature's grandeur, thus creating the opportunity to bring one's own experience to the art.
