Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Sunspots

A red-haired woman sits cross-legged among tiny orange dots, a small bird at her shoulder.

This work on paper is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 2010. 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 figure with long orange hair sits in a loose pen outline, with white shoes and a tiny bird perched near her shoulder. It is 5 inches wide, 0.2 deep and 7 high.

Calm, cross-legged, and attended by a very small bird.
