Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Right Eye Left Wing

Hatted figure with a dusty pink yoke and a long dark, streaked skirt stands erect.

This work on paper is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 2012. It is paint 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. Front and center, a tiny figure in a rounded hat has a smoky gray face over a pale rose shoulder band. Below, long vertical streaks of brown, gray and black fall in a bell shape. It is 6 inches wide and 7 high.

Upright as a bell and just about as talkative.
