He was a notable painter of rural figure subjects and landscapes whose work became freer in style later in his career.

Also exhibited at RA, Cooling and Goupil Galleries, Fine Art Society and elsewhere and, after his death, his work was revived by Gallery Edward Harvane. Bradford’s Cartwright Hall Art Gallery holds his picture Marguerite, lent to the 1986 Christie’s NEAC centenary show. Lived in London.
