According to an article in a 1936, "Losing his arms in an accident, he taught himself to paint, holding the brushes between his toes, and has just had an animal study in oils accepted for exhibition at the Burlington Galleries, London."
He went on to have distinguished career, with paintings accepted by the Royal Academy. this one is called "A Welcome Rest". It appeared in a June, 1936 issue of The Artist's Magazine.
