Comments: Best known as a Post-Impressionist of marine scenes, he was active in St. Ives, England,

beginning c.1895. In 1911, Ernest Lawson persuaded him to emigrate to the U.S.

After the Depression forced him to give up his home in Caldwell, NJ, he became director of the

Studio Art Club, in Mt. Vernon, NY. He spent his summers at Gloucester, MA, for twenty years.

In addition to Caldwell, NJ, he painted in Manasquan (NJ), Woodstock (NY),

 Nantucket, Vermont, and Monhegan Island (ME). In later years his palette became more vibrant.

Signature note: His signature was typically bold and slashing during the 1910s-20s,

while his later signatures have fewer flourishes.
