He painted many prize bulls, such 
as Comet, bred by the famous Colling brothers of Durham and 
sold for 1000 guineas in 1811.
Some of his paintings were engraved, such as Mr Cotes MP with his new Rotherham plough on his Shropshire estate in 1809.
Huntsmen, foxhounds and racehorses were popular commissions from the rural gentry and aristocracy of the Midlands.
