On his own, Payne established his studio and lectured on the art and principle of landscape painting.
On Payne’s return to Hollywood in 1932, he separated with his wife.
They came back in 1924 and traveled from coast to coast, but spent winters mainly in and around New York City. In 1922, the Payne family spent two years painting across Europe. One of the lakes, Lake Payne, was named in memory of the artist. During his stay in Laguna, he periodically took trips to the High Sierras and became well-known among the locals. After completing the project in 1918, Payne moved to Laguna Beach, where he founded and became the first president of the Laguna Beach Art Association. The project took four months and 11,000 square yards of muslin. Grayson Sayre, and Conrad Buff to work on the project. Moving to Glendale, California, Payne enlisted the help of his artist friends Peter Nielson, Jack Wilkinson Smith, F. He accepted his last project in 1917 with Holsag and Company of Chicago to decorate eleven floors of the Congress Hotel. Following the finished project, he began to earn enough from the sale of his paintings to begin turning down offers for mural paintings. This would be the first project in which both Elsie and Edgar Payne would work on together. In 1913, Payne received a commission from Mitchell and Hallbeck Decorating Company of Chicago to create a mural for the Hendricks County Courthouse in Danville, Indiana. He eventually made his way north to San Francisco and met artist Elsie Palmer, whom he would marry in 1912. Payne moved to California in 1909, where he spent a good portion of his time in Laguna Beach. In 1907, having moved to Chicago, Payne enrolled at the Art Institute of Chicago but left soon after. He began to sell some of his small easel paintings from exhibitions at the Palette and Chisel Club in Chicago. His childhood consisted of working on his family farm while receiving a limited education. Edgar Payne was born on Main Washburn, Missouri.
