He then went to Munich to take further lessons in genre painting from 1877 to 1879 by Otto Seitz . He then returned to his birthplace, Rauland, where he spent the next 20 years, then lived in Christiania again from 1899 and worked as a genre and portrait painter. He also dealt with copying altarpieces. He also created a statue (1903) that can be found in Bergen's picture gallery. He presented works in 1899 and 1901 at the state art exhibitions in Christiania.
