He toured France and Belgium, painting landscapes and seascapes in oil and watercolour. He was a founder member of the Kettering and District Art Society (alongside Gash) and the Northampton Town and County Art Society. The Alfred East Art Gallery in Kettering has four of his paintings in its permanent collection.
