His subjects were landscapes, genre relating to ships and boats, and still-life. In 1883 he went to Venice for further study. He became associated with the Newlyn School and had a close friendship with fellow painter Stanhope Alexander Forbes.

There were two Thomas Heaphys - father and son - who painted. I am unsure who did these. Best guess: first one by the father, and last two by the son.
