After his studies Lillywhite and his wife moved to Walden, Colorado where he painted scenes of ranch life and the Old West, an interest that began with his early exposure to the pack trains and Native Americans seen at his parent's trading post.
Here he found much of his inspiration for his ranch life and Western subject matter. From 1940-1942 he painted thirteen habitat backgrounds of bird and mammal groups for the Colorado Museum of Natural History.
