Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Feline

Pencil-drawn and patched together from torn strips, she announces a feeling in small letters.

This work on paper is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 2010. It is paint & mixed media on paper. 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. A slim standing figure drawn in pencil, with a small head crowned by a white blob, sits within horizontal bands of tan and cream strips. Rusty brown stains spot the surface, and a small word is lettered at upper left. It is 5 inches wide and 7 high.

Candid pencil work, softened by an honest amount of coffee-colored stain.
