Once he completed his training in Christchurch and Auckland, Shanks moved to Oamaru to build a house on Cape Wanbrow above the town. It was while there that he began painting again, capturing the landscape of the Cape Wanbrow area. He still liked to include a structure in his landscape paintings, so many of his new works of Cape Wanbrow included its old military bunkers. Shanks describes his work as ``internal and external view of life''.
