Holder devoted himself to landscape painting, specializing in views of the English countryside, particularly the rolling hills and rugged coastline of his native Yorkshire.
His pictorial approach was very concrete, aiming to faithfully represent the Yorkshire landscape as he experienced it.
He portrayed farmers working in the fields, sheep grazing on the rolling hills, and picturesque villages nestled among ancient trees. He created not idealized portraits but rather honest depictions of daily life in the region, infused with a sense of quiet dignity and respect for the land.
