His dedication to his craft earned him numerous accolades, including the Wynne Prize in 1975 and 1979, and the T. E. Wardle Invitation Prize in 1966. He was also a recipient of the Centenary Medal of Federation and was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia for his services to the visual arts, particularly as an Australian landscape painter and contemporary artist.
