Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Her Favorite Chair

Red-haired and long-necked, she crosses her boots over a striped chair

This work on paper is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 2015. It is paint on paper. He began using dried paint after drips on a protective plastic sheet struck him as wasteful, and he glued the chips onto his canvas to add texture and found faces in them. Here, a willowy figure with orange hair sits on a chair striped in black and white, one booted leg kicked high. The ground is a warm honey tan with brushed vertical streaks. A small monogram appears at the lower right. It is 10 inches wide and 10 high.

A pose that took real nerve and probably a good chiropractor.
