[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 9430753, member: 84"]I found this yesterday at my local thrift store while going through the new paintings that had come in. I almost passed on it because I thought it looked like a beginner's painting +when I searched 'H. Baker artist' several names came up & I couldn't tell whose signature it was. But figured I'd see what the manager wanted for it - especially since I'd found a few others paintings I wanted to buy. But when my friend saw it he said it was a Highwaymen painting by Hezekiah Baker & I could have it for $1,200 or he was sending it to the owners. I did some research while he went back to getting the store ready to open, but every Hezekiah Baker signature I found it looked like he started every H with a small horizontal line to the top left of the letter H so the left side of the H kinda looked like the number 7 + I couldn't find any with the letter B in Baker signed with the top of B larger than the rest - so that it looked like it was tipping over! I passed on it because I couldn't afford to pay $1,200 without a matching signature, let alone with no COA. Did I make the right choice - was this a Highwaymen painting? I did buy a couple others, including 4 signed Paul Jenkins lithographs (one I dropped & broke the glass on, so I would have bought that one anyway but I ended up with the 4 because they were only $25 each) + a pretty floral painting that had a gallery mark/card on the back - but only the letter R for a signature! Can anyone tell me who the artist is? Or your thoughts on it? Thank you for any information/thoughts on the floral & "highwaymen" paintings - they are appreciated!
