He developed in interest in painting in 1921 whilst living in London, Ontario. He became friends with two "Group of Seven" artists, A.Y. Jackson and Lawren Harris and shared their admiration of the inspiring Canadian landscape. He joined them on sketching trips to Quebec in 1927 and also to other parts of Canada.
