From this address he exhibited two paintings at the Royal Academy in 1826 (Miss Paton of Covent Garden Theatre and Sir Robert Shaw, Bart., of Dublin) and three paintings at the Society of British Artists (now the Royal Society of British Artists) in 1827 (''Portrait of Miss Paton'', presumably the same as the Royal Academy picture, ''Portrait of Madame Viennot'', presumably the artist's wife or mother, and ''Portrait of the Marchioness of Downshire'').
