Painting on Canvas by Mark Westervelt: Untitled, Framed

Smoky blue figure bows its pale head while a ghostly second shape hovers nearby.

This painting on canvas is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 1993. It is chip paint & canvas. Mark Westervelt is an American painter trained at the Kansas City Art Institute and the University of Chicago, whose work has come to include a variety of mediums over his career. Simply put, a tall composition on a burnt orange ground shows a navy-blue figure with a silvery, bowed head and pale scratched lines across its torso. A thin pale figure with a green patch stands at right, its outline softly glowing. It is 37.5 inches wide, 3 deep and 64.5 high.

A moody pair, glowing in a very hot room.
