Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Blue Bird

Blue-faced figure in a black cloak shows striped legs below the hem.

This work on paper is by Blue Bird, and is ca. 2012. It is paint 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. Framed in view, a small figure with a pale face brushed in blue sits above a blue shoulder band and a long black cloak. Striped black and white legs show beneath. It is 6 inches wide and 7 high.

Black cloak, blue face, and striped socks for a surprise.
