BiographyFrost was the son of a builder at Ousden in Suffolk, and was originally brought up to his father's business. He subsequently obtained a post in the office of the Blue Coach at Ipswich [1] where he worked until about eight years before his death.[2] Career as an artistFrost had a natural and early love of drawing, and was self-taught as an artist.[1] According to his obituary in the Gentleman's Magazine: His productions, and more particularly his Drawings, were admirable, and exhibited abundant proofs of the character and genius of a Master. He studied nature with the closest attention, and in his attempts to delineate her beauties, was eminently successful. He was an accurate observer of her in all her appearances, and possessed a characteristic touch for all her forms. The subjects which he selected were such as did credit to his taste and judgment; and whatever came from his pencil bore the impress of originality and truth, and evinced, in a bold and masterly manner,the local character and features of the County In which he resided.He was a great admirer and imitator of Gainsborough, and possessed some paintings and drawings by him, notably "The Mall", of which he executed a careful copy when in his 77th year. He was also a close friend of John Constable. His employment at Ipswich caused him to limit his subjects to that town and its neighbourhood, and he was little known elsewhere.[1] DeathFrost died at his home on the Common Quay at Ipswich on 28 June 1821[2] after a painful illness.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 Dictionary of National Biography 1885–1900 2. ^1 {{cite journal|journal=The Gentleman's Magazine|date=July 1821|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=9MZnclDVK98C&pg=PA89&lpg=PA89&dq|title=Memoir of the late Mr. George Frost, painter|pages=89–90}} Sources{{DNB|wstitle=Frost, George}}External links
