Now and Forevermore

This stunning, deeply meaningful, oil on canvas painting features a magnificent white rose thriving in a desert environment, symbolizing artist Doug West's arduous recovery from a life-threatening accident in 2022. 

West explains, “This white rose represents the purity that emerged from this terrible, traumatic event—which I’ve imbued in other works as well—speaking to both power and mystery.”

Set against a breathtaking gold, turquoise, and indigo sky densely decorated with fiery clouds illuminated by the sunset, "Now and Forevermore possesses a dramatic and uplifting atmosphere that will resonate with any viewer.
