Edgar Alwin Payne (1883-1947) Ediza Lake, Near Mammoth, Eastern Sierras
Oil on canvas Canvas: 25” x 30” Frame: 34” x 38” Signed Lower Right: Edgar Payne
The solid grandeur of an imposing mountain contrasts against the serenity of the deeply blue glacial lake below. The quiet power of the mountain is enhanced by the bold and broad strokes, which meld into homogenized trees as the valley deepens.
