Edgar Payne
born Washburn, Missouri, 1883; died Hollywood, California, 1947
In 1917 Payne was given a commission by the Santa Fe Railroad to paint landscapes in the Southwest. He painted many works en plein air and also did numerous sketches from which he later did studio paintings. Payne worked quickly and completed about one painting per day. He became known for his majestic Sierra Nevada Mountain scenes but depicted many other locations as well including the coast of Laguna Beach, the Canadian Rockies, the French and Swiss Alps, the Italian and French Riviera, and fishing scenes of Italy and France.
