Work on Paper by Mark Westervelt: Green with Envy, Framed

Two small figures, one green and one black, pass by in a very big mat

This work on paper is by Mark Westervelt, and is ca. 2015. It is paint 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. Seen here, a tiny scene of a green silhouette and a darker walking figure sits on a speckled white ground. It is surrounded by a wide black mat and a slim, brushed-metal frame with a bright finish. It is 22.5 inches wide, 2.25 deep and 23 high.

Plenty of black velvet drama for such a little picture.
