At seventeen he entered the Slade School of Art. When he returned to England from studies in Italy and Paris, he joined the Newlyn School of painters in which he gained lucrative commissions. He entered the Royal Academy has a full member in 1914 and died in March, 1929 in Falmouth leaving over 1300 paintings. His twin abiding loves were the sea and boys. This caused quite a stir in Victorian and Edwardian England, but he was nonetheless a member of the Royal Academy.
