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.

Sparrows & Holly Bush Painting update

I have now painted in the darker edges of the main holly branches and leaves in a darker green than the base wash, leave the lighter green as highlights.

And added a darker and variegated background behind these branches and leaves:
