No record of any formal artistic training exists and it appears that he did not begin painting individual pictures until late in life ; possibly after he retired . His best known work , the " Flax Scutching Bee " , dates from 1885 and the above mentioned logging pictures may come from the 1890s . He is also said to have created a picture of the Johnstown Flood , the proceeds from which would benefit the survivors , but its whereabouts are unknown
