John Berkey Original Framed Fine Art Painting Shacks  * An oil painting on Masonite by John Berkey, titled Shacks. The painting is presented in a gold tone wooden frame with hanging wire to the verso. Measures 26 3/4 x 16(framed) & 24 x 12(image). Lovely composition. Been hanging on the wall for a brief bit but my wife feels that it is important to actually be able to see the walls!

2028 will be a milestone year for me, marking 30 years on eBay and an incredible 50 years of collecting original art, coins, rare documents, stamps, and on and on! To celebrate the approach of this special occasion, I'll be launching dozens of exciting auctions every week, so make sure to browse my listings for unique finds and treasures. As a passionate historian and dedicated researcher, I pride myself on providing accurate and up-to-date information in every listing. If you have any questions or want to learn more about an item, please don't hesitate to reach out—I'm always happy to help! Communication is key. 

I am proud to live in Minnesota, where John spent so much of his time. I have owned Berkey originals for over 30 years.
