Pictorially, McCarthy painted what he saw in the world brought to him through various media populating his artworks with glamorous people, exotic places, animals, and even religious imagery. His expressionist style is highly gestural with textural stokes. Later in years his work became slightly more abstract due to failing eyesight. His idiosyncratic work varies from uneven to remarkably coherent, and his work is considered by some to be one of the most important yet enigmatic folk artists of the mid-twentieth century.
