Work on Panel by Mark Westervelt: Brahma

White humped bull grazes in a streaky olive field under a pale blue sky and a thin moon.

This work on panel is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 2015. It is paint on panel. His paint skins are made by painting on plastic and peeling the sheet off, so the side against the plastic is glossy and the side exposed to air is matte. Centered, a pale cutout bull with curved horns and a rust-flecked hide stands in a green-brown field of vertical streaks. A blue sky above holds a small collaged patch of clouds, a ragged dark horizon and a faint crescent moon. It is 10 inches wide, 1.75 deep and 10 high.

Placid, horned, and in no mood to move along.
