Payne's career was centered chiefly around the city of Birmingham where he was born. He studied at the Birmingham School of Art and later taught there. He was a member of the "Birmingham Group" led by Joseph Southall; the young artists of the group admired the style of Edward Burne-Jones and his medieval themes, and one can note the influence of the Pre-Raphaelite Burne-Jones in Payne's picture Choosing the Red and White Roses." The Birmingham Group were regarded as revivalists, what one critic calls the "second wave," of the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
