Art

California’s landscape blooms in full color through the works of impressionist painters Edgar Payne, Granville Redmond and William Wendt. Their works are on display in “Masters of Landscape” at the Irvine Museum. Payne’s work encompasses the snow-capped peaks and ice-cold lakes of the Sierra Nevada; Redmond is known for majestic oaks at sunset and fields of poppies and lupines; and Wendt painted green meadows and valleys, ringed by oaks and sycamores.

* “Masters of Landscape,” Irvine Museum, 18881 Von Karman Ave., Suite 1250. Museum hours: Tuesday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Free. Ends Sept. 15. (949) 476-2565.
