Heitland was also a master watercolorist - his paintings of Barbados rival the directness and vigor of Winslow Homer. Both his illustrations and exhibition watercolors won many awards, and his work is represented in several museums, including the Brooklyn Museum, Art Institute of Chicago, and Philadelphia Museum School of Art.
