Titles at the Royal Academy included 'Sacred to Venus', 1888 and 'An Offering to Apollo', 1889. The Studio, 1906, refers to his quality of "classic charm". Lived in Bath. The Harris Museum and Art Gallery, Preston, has a watercolour of flowers. His classical watercolours are similar to those of Henry Ryland, but painted in a more delicate style.
