Work on Panel by Mark Westervelt: Victim of Expression

Neat-haired head tilts one eye askew over a patch of salmon pink.

This work on panel is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 2014. It is paint on panel. 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. Plainly, a head in thick black line has short hair, small ears and a long straight nose. Eyes sit slightly out of line. A salmon-pink rectangle covers the lips and chin. The chalky white ground is scuffed with red and yellow flecks. It is 10 inches wide, 1.75 deep and 10 high.

Politely uneven, and clearly aware of it.
