5 out of 5 starsI have purchased two CF Payne illustrations from his Etsy store. I find it remarkable that one can own an original work of one of the greatest illustrators of the past 50 years for such a reasonable price. He has always been one of my top and favorite influences and does a beautiful job shipping and packaging the pieces. I hope to buy more in the future, maybe a Ben Franklin? Hint hint…

5 out of 5 starsThere is nothing I can say to improve upon the reputation of the work of C.F. Payne that his many decades of illustrations have already established. I acquired baseball art, a topic in which one can clearly see Payne's personal affection for the sport in his care of composition, in choice of colors, and in every wrinkle of the uniform. His art is inspiring.
