Over the course of his short career, he produced roughly 400 oil sketches on small wood panels along with around 50 larger works on canvas.

  • 8. Flesherton Art Gallery Flesherton
    Flesherton is a community in the Municipality of Grey Highlands, in Grey County, Ontario, Canada, located at the junction of Highway 10 and Grey County Road 4 . Although the area initially showed a high rate of growth in the 1850s and its founder believed that it would become an important centre of economic activity, growth stagnated when an all-important rail link bypassed it, and the community never grew larger than a small village. The self-proclaimed Gateway to the Beaver Valley recently lost its autonomy as a village when it was amalgamated with the surrounding Artemesia Township.
