This painting of Bro. R.A. West was painted by Jason Turner an artist from Indiana. It was on display for public viewing in an art gallery in Northern Indiana. During it's time on display the gallery owners stated that it was the single most inquired about painting in the gallery, and said that people just seemed to be drawn to it.

Painted from the memory of the artist through the inspiration of the Holy Ghost the painting seems to capture Bro. West's youth, his wisdom, and his burdens for mankind.
