Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Honey Bear

A shaggy bear in a collage coat stands upright and offers a yellow cone to the air.

This work on paper is by Honey Bear, and is ca. 2011. It is paint & mixed media on paper. Faces and figures recur in his work as a way to express inner conditions of the self, and he has said he hopes viewers first think wow and then what. A bear built of brown, tan and gilded pieces stands on its hind legs, holding up a yellow spiral cone in one paw. Faint lettering runs along the bottom edge. It is 5 inches wide and 7 high.

A dignified bear with a very questionable ice cream.
