About the Item

"Woodland Interior" and "Martinsville, Maine" is a double sided watercolor painting by American painter Ranulph Bye. One side features a thick interior woodland landscape, drawn in vibrant and heavy colors and brushstrokes, while the other side depicts a much softer and subtler seascape in Maine. The two paintings represent very dramatically different moods and styles. Both sides are signed and one is titled and dated. Signed Lower Right "Ranulph Bye" on one side, titled and dated on verso "Martinsville, Maine, July 30, 1965". This artwork is sold with the woodland landscape featured, but the frame is designed so the second painting can easily be turned over in the same frame and the seascape can be featured. Photograph of the framed artwork includes shadows and reflection. The artwork is in excellent condition. Provenance: Private collection, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
