Chafing under the restraints of the See also:schools, he went into See also:Brittany, and at See also:Pont Aven and See also:Concarneau turned his See also:attention to marine See also:painting and landscape. In 1882 he sent a figure-piece to the See also:Salon, a See also:fisher boy on the See also:beach, which he called " Chateaux en Espagne." This attracted attention, and in 1885 he received an See also:honourable mention, the first of many awards conferred upon him, including the See also:Temple See also:gold See also:medal (Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia, 1887), first medal, Paris See also:Exhibition (1889), and medals in See also:Munich, See also:Brussels, See also:Ghent, See also:Vienna and elsewhere.
