sketcher and miner, was mining at Mount Alexander and Forest Creek in Castlemaine, Victoria in 1851-52. A group of naive goldfields watercolours he made several years later depict the Ovens district as it was at that time. Mount Alexander 1851 (1861, LT SLV), Commissioners Camp, Forest Creek 1852 (1861, CAG), Gold Diggers at Castlemaine (1855, LT SLV), Forest Creek, 1852 (1861, LT SLV) and The Black Forest 1852 (1857 and 1859, LT SLV) include crudely drawn but lively miners with picks, shovels and puddling tools at work on these alluvial fields. Kenyon also painted a watercolour view of Canvas Town, South Melbourne 1852 (LT SLV), so obviously returned to Melbourne that year.
