Virginia Shackles
Original Oil Painting Big Sur, Monterey California Landscape

C. 1970

About the Item

A beautiful American Impressionist oil seascape of the rugged Big Sur coast, Carmel California by Virginia Shackles (American, 1921-2020). The composition is pleasing with an interesting perspective of coastal hills that come down to water's edge with rock-hewn plateaus in earthen red tones. Signed "V. Shackles" lower left Unframed. Canvas size: 24"H x 30"L. Virginia Shackles was born in Wichita, Kansas in 1921, but soon after moved to California with her parents. Once in California, Virginia Shackles began working in a store that supplied religious items for Catholic churches, where she also met her husband, Frank J. Shackles. Virginia later worked as an advertising representative for a local newspaper, and finally settled in Monterey, California. While in Monterey, Virginia was inspired by the coastline, to which she started painting. Shackles soon took up painting as a hobby, and would travel along the coast with her grandson, painting different scenery, while teaching art at the same time. A well noted artist, Virginia Shackles obituary was published in the New York Times.
