Hello, and welcome to my blog.

My name is Lavender George and I love to make things. I have been painting, creating and crafting since a small child, firstly from sheer pleasure, and when my children were small, and money was tight, from necessity. Now I hope to make art my main source of income and keep the sewing, crochet and knitting for fun.
I hope you enjoy looking at the things I make, and reading about my inspiration and work in progress.

A New Year's Resolution

Resolutions are dangerous things, usually destined for failure. However, I have recently been involved with the Sketchbook Project and enjoyed blogging about my progress and posting photos and scans of the my sketchbook drawings and paintings. So, my New Year's resolution is to resurrect this blog and incorporate my painting as well as my hats, bags and dresses. So, to get this new blog off to a fresh start here is a painting I have recently finished.
It's titled 'Fish Supper' and is a watercolour of a fisherman sharing his fish and chips with a favourite gull. The painting is 8x10 inches in size and painted on cold pressed NOT paper. I was inspired by a fabulous photo by Ruth Archer, who is an amazing photographer who puts her photos up on a free website for artists to use as inspiration, and I'm very grateful to her for this image.
I hope you like it.
