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.
