Original Wesley Kime Portrait of Irishman
Item Details
An original oil portrait on canvas mounted on masonite board of an Irishman by 20th century artist Wesley Kime (Los Angeles, b. 1929). The painting illustrates a charming portrait of a seated gentleman with white sideburns wearing a green hat with brim and shamrock to the center gazing to the left. The artist has signed the painting in the lower right and a label at the verso indicates the painting was exhibited at the Eisele Gallery of Cincinnati.
Wesley Kime pursued dual careers in art (an interest from childhood) and medicine. He studied at the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles and was respected as a pathologist at the Kettering Medical Center in Dayton, Ohio. After retiring from medicine, he painted full time with a concentration on portraits and urban cityscapes. His portraits are known for capturing the ‘Life Likeness’ of his subject, accomplished with accurate and boldly strategic brushstroke.
