Since having painted his first golf scene , of Royal Liverpool in 1956 he has become one of the most respected of contemporary golf artists.

*Gouache is a type of paint consisting of pigment suspended in water. Gouache differs from watercolor in that the particles are larger, the ratio of pigment to water is much higher, and an additional, inert, white pigment such as chalk is also present. This makes gouache heavier and more opaque, with greater reflective qualities.
