His love for Perth fuelled the creation of an impressive body of work (1930s and 1940s), showing a deep respect for nature and the environment, a passion for untamed landscapes and for the cultivated aspects of a city. He was also driven by an interest in people and had a great ability to capture the essence of personal character in quick sketches, detailed drawings and exaggerated caricatures.
