This may account for his stylistic similarity to John William Waterhouse, who also lived at Primrose Hill Studios. From 1892 to 1936 he exhibited at the Royal Academy; the Royal Society of British Artists, Birmingham; Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool; Manchester City Art Gallery; New Gallery; and the Royal Hibernian Academy and his work received popular reviews. He was a Freeman of the City of London, being admitted to the Worshipful Company of Turners in 1893. He died in 1943 at 36 Roland Gardens, London.
