He specialised in rustic narrative landscapes and painted to such a high standard that he exhibited at the Royal Academy. He was based in Surrey and painted atmospheric sunset and sunrise pastoral scenes in his locality. However, it is for his excellent highland scenes that he is best known when he made a speciality of scenes with Highland Cattle watering in the lochs within a mountainous background. His compositional style and rich palette rival the very best of the genre - comparable with the likes of Louis Bosworth Hurt and Alfred de Breanski.
