Abstract

Quote: "He was entirely self-taught as an artist and specialized, naturally enough, in marine subjects. His output was prodigious: it is said that he painted a large proportion of the ships which entered Port Jackson during his lifetime. Most of his work, which was generally unsigned, was in water-colour and characterized by a feeling for atmosphere absent from the work of earlier Australian topographical artists. Examples of his art are to be seen in the Dixson and Mitchell Galleries, Sydney, and in the home of the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron."
