He later studied art at the Trustee’s Academy on Picardy Place (the forerunner of the Edinburgh College of Art).
In October 1891 he received a Royal Commission to paint the baptism of Queen Victoria’s grandchild, Prince Maurice of Battenburg. At this time he was living in a flat at 12 Warrender Park Terrace and had a studio at 20 George Street in the New Town in Edinburgh.
In 1896 he was sculpted by David Watson Stevenson.
