Hi Everyone, On the subject of portraits, I have a watercolour painting of a frail old lacemaker. She is obviously English with her bolster pillow on a wooden tripod stand and her spangled bobbins. She is sitting in front of her cottage with a background of hills and moors, and is working on a broad edging, but the pattern isn't clear. She is wearing a black "bowler" type of hat and with this hat, I was wondering if anyone can tell me which part of England this might be. The painting is called "The Lacemaker" and has the initials JGW. My mother-in-law found it for me in an auction in Scotland and we don't know anything about the history of the painting. Could it be a Scottish lacemaker? Best wishes and keep bobbin' along from Avril -- And on the 8th day, God created golf courses and lacemakers........
