He illustrated several books with outdoor and hunting scenes, his best known published contribution being ‘Knight of the Woods’ (1949). Exhibited at the Royal Academy, Royal Watercolour Society, Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the Paris Salon, with one-man shows at the Leger Galleries. Much of his work was on pastoral themes and featured horses.
