Best known for his London river scenes, he also painted a vast array of other subjects, from historical naval scenes dating back to the 15th century to America’s Cup yacht races of the 1930s. He also worked as an illustrator for the Illustrated London News, the Sphere, and the Graphic. His favorite medium was watercolor, but he also created a small number of oils.
