During his career McKelvey was considered on a par with Paul Henry and James Humbert Craig,
two of the most successful Irish landscape painters of the time. His renowned ability as a painter
of landscapes is acknowledged by the many exhibitions during his lifetime. He was elected as
one of the first academicians of the Ulster Academy of Arts when it was founded in 1930.
