I wish it were possible to purchase prints of them. Thank you for posting this article so I could see more of his work.<br /><br />Karen<br />Northville, MIKaren - Northville, MIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717210933746454750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908660775553052007.post-76840065311449185722012-01-26T17:47:10.103-05:002012-01-26T17:47:10.103-05:00Kerry,

None of these later paintings show Payne at his best, either, so the comparison with Walter Gay seems a stretch, but within his narrow field (and at his peak) Payne was a major talent.Magnaverdehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04231057342527140091noreply@blogger.com
