He spent a majority of his career and life in Woodstock, New York, teaching at the Art Students League summer school and eventually opening his own school, the John F. Carlson School of Landscape Painting. He was invited to the Broadmoor Art Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado (precursor to the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center) as director and painting instructor for two summers in 1920 and 1921.
