1800 - 1870.
A landscape painter and watercolourist. Born in Bristol where he worked, self-taught, until he was 35 but then moved to London and exhibited at the RA and other venues. At first he painted around Bristol but later travelled on the Continent. He admired Turner and it has clearly influenced him.
