His interest lay, "not in grand historical paintings but in the beauty of the everyday observed at first hand, the view from his window, the racing pigeons shown by miners at a local Pigeon Fancying fair, a bunch of flowers in a jug". Some of his paintings reflect his travels in the USA and Australia. Favourite subjects include birds, Nature, and people in the street.
