Featured Painting "Old Salt Antiques"



"Old Salt Antiques" was painted by Lawrence Baker in 1981.  Located just north of the Bath bridge on Route 1 in Woolwich, ME, it was truly a landmark. Back then, shops like it were frequent sights in rural areas of New England.  Containing a treasure trove of collectibles, folks would often spend quite a bit of time searching for "finds".  Nowadays scenes like this are few and far between.  Lawrence loved this shop so much it is the subject of another painting from a different view, called "The Notice" completed in 1977.    Old Salt Antiques had been sold and renamed "Dot's Good Deals" several years ago.  Unfortunately, a recent fire destroyed the entire building and contents, rendering this painting a true piece of history.   Museum quality giclee prints are available both on paper and canvas.   Add this to your collection today!  Visit www.LawrenceBaker.com for details.

Featured Painting "The Crossing"



"The Crossing" is an exciting new addition to our collection.

This painting was originally sold through a gallery in Boston many years ago, and has recently resurfaced. "The Crossing" is an excellent example of Lawrence Baker's fine talent, and is now available as a true museum quality reproduction.

"The Crossing" is a compilation of subjects from different areas. For example, the railroad cars and tracks are from Brunswick, Maine, and the crossing guard shack is from Waltham, MA. The man posing as the crossing guard is actually the family's beloved "Grampa", Joseph J. Uberti! Where the background came from is still a mystery.

The vibrant colors and sharp detail of the subjects perfectly scaled and combined together in this painting are simply outstanding. This masterpiece is sure to brighten up and add interest to any room. Available through our Gallery at LawrenceBaker.com in full or reduced size (33"x22.5" or 16"x26"), on canvas or archival paper. Order yours today!

Pictured here is "Pals", featuring two young children in front of an old general store in the New England countryside.  This is nice representation of Lawrence's talent and eye for detail.  Notice the patterns of their clothing, the fading facade of the building and even the rocks on the ground!  The colors in this print continue to be popular today (tans, greens, grays and blues), and will compliment your decor for a long time to come.
