Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Stag

Mustard jacket, yellow knees, and yellow antlers: this figure stands at attention.

This work on paper is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 2010. It is paint & mixed media on paper. Because the skins are peeled up, anything painted on them is reversed, so he must write text backwards and paint a figure facing right if it is meant to look left. Stacked panels build a standing figure with a mustard-yellow torso, pencil-shaded legs and yellow knees. Branching yellow horns rise from a small face above. Tiny green lettering runs across the top, and purple marks stain the left edge. It is 5 inches wide and 7 high.

Dressed for something, and it clearly involves antlers.
