Penleigh Boyd (1890-1923) was the son of Arthur Merric and Emma Minnie Boyd.
In his short career Penleigh Boyd was recognized as one of Australia's finest landscape painters, with a strong sense of colour controlled by smooth and subtle tones. 'Wattle Blossoms', hung at the Royal Academy in 1923, was much admired. He loved colour, having been influenced early by study of Turner and the example of McCubbin.  refer Australian Dictionary of Biography entry by Marjorie Tipping, read more
