While staying at Upper Hutt around 1890 he gave two paintings to Francis Howard Wilkie. One is a view of Upper Hutt and the other shows two bridges at the entrance to the Akatarawa Valley. The paintings have since passed to Mr Wilkie's daughter and son-in-law, Mr & Mrs J. H. G. Patterson of Totara Park, Upper Hutt. [Both watercolours in the Turnbull Library from the 1980s]. Shown in the painting of Upper Hutt are railway cottages, station building, goods shed and the engine shed. Also St Joseph's Catholic Church and the Provincial Hotel. On the right of the hotel is P. A. Wilkie's second store built about 1875 when the Fortune Lane community moved north to Upper Hutt to be near the railway station. The building at the left of the Provincial Hotel is Edward Wilkie's bakery and boardinghouse.
