评论： He left home at age 14, traveling from the Ozarks through Mexico, earning his way by painting houses, stage sets and signs.His first visit to California was in 1909 and in 1917 he returned to Glendale, CA with a commission for a giant mural for the Congress Hotel in Chicago, which was fulfilled with the help of several of his friends. Payne traveled in Europe in the 1920s, where he won honorable mention at the Paris Salon. When he returned he wrote a book on landscape painting, and produced a color motion picture called Sierra Journey. A lake in the High Sierra is named for him.
