Unknown antique oil painting Jesus, Mary & Joseph by 'Shaw'

This oil painting was found in (or around) 1957 on a beach in the San juan Islands. It is approximately 8ft 7in tall x 7ft 9in wide. It is built on a wood frame. There is an artists signature of "Shaw". That's all we know about it. Thank you for your help in advance. Desiree & Bob

 

Desiree-You forgot to post some Pics.

 

I'm trying to do that. I apologize

 

If you're on a phone, email them to yourself, size Medium. Save and upload. The board has antiquated size limits.

 

that's the side of a beach house wall...........

 

8 feet? A mural from a building wall?

 

For Future reference, when posting images:

Try emailing them to yourself as "medium" size, as suggested, they should then be under 1 MB!

Each image MUST be UNDER 1 MB....
There are instructions on site here on how to reduce the size of your image, if that is the problem......you are allowed up to 10 images per post!!! Here are some links to the instructions:

As an added note, when you have your photos LISTED, BUT BEFORE you hit POST, please click on the wording that says to "POST EVERY IMAGE FULL SIZE" !! That way, we're not clicking on little thumbnails, but get to see all of the images full sized!! Thanks! Remember, it takes a bit for MOST new members to get the hang of it, but it's really quite simple once you get used to it!!!" OH, And WELCOME to ANTIQUERS!! If you need more help, just ASK us!!!!

 

@Desireefhmt, still having trouble getting an image or two posted?? Are you trying from a phone or computer?? Someone here should be able to try to help..........

 

You'll get it Desiree,same as me when I started.

 

Church altarpiece?

Maybe something like this?



Desiree, if you tell us what your posting problem is, maybe we can help.

 

Thank you so much for all of your ideas and for being so helpful. I had covid for the last couple of weeks but am on the mend and excited to try to get this mystery figured out! Working on getting the pictures resized right now!

 

Here is one! I have to resize them all individually so this may take a while.
