Pair of Wesley Kime Watercolor Paintings on Paper of Architectural Landscapes

Item Details

A pair of watercolor paintings on paper of architectural landscapes by Wesley Kime, MD (b. 1929). One work features a snow-covered street corner with pink urban buildings in the foreground. This work is signed ‘Kime’ to the lower left. Also included is a painting of a desolate street corner populated with rectangular industrial buildings and barren trees scattered throughout. This work remains unsigned. Both paintings are marked with a label from the Eisele Gallery of Fine Art to the verso. Neither work is matted and both remain unframed.

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 subjects, accomplished with accurate and boldly strategic brushstrokes.

Condition

- staple holes along edges of both paintings from previous display; wear along paper includes wrinkling, bending, and fraying; adhesive residue throughout versos.
