In 1953, he was hired to complete the frieze in the Capitol Rotunda, which had been originally started by Constantino Brumidi and left unfinished since the 1880s.

He painted murals on many other walls in the building, including a depiction of the first landing on the Moon in the Senate's Brumidi Corridors of the Capitol.

He also painted murals in houses owned by Anne (Mrs. William K.) Vanderbilt and Lincoln Ellsworth.

In 1956, he was hired to design and paint two long rectangular murals for the new headquarters of the North Carolina Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons.

These were completed in August 1959, transported to the building, unrolled, and mounted to the north and south walls of the main hall.
