Lived at Houghton, near Arundel, from 1897 and painted the Sussex landscape. His landscapes reflected prevailing trends in Europe, being chiefly influenced by the Barbizon school and Impressionism. He is known for his detailed paintings of landscapes, often along rivers, where he could display his exceptional skill in capturing the play of light and shadow.
