I'm talking Space Heaters!  No, not really, but I had to go buy one last night, think I'll buy another at $7 a pop for the bedroom!  I'm very ready to really get to work here.  I've discovered this is not the best time to be in Lima, it is their dead of winter!  Ah well, not everything on my trip will be going as planned and this allows me to embrace my positive side and manage anyway.

I've got the lines down for the next works, Cantua buxfolia, and in a variety of colours to show off with!  I'm pleased with my images of the buds, flowers, some leaves and twigs the flowers grow from.  The composition has "passed the mustard" in my eye.  Lots of delicate work in this one.

Now that my tootsies are warmed and the chill is taken off the general air in the apt (no heating) I can enjoy the process of painting in comfort and get out to explore too.  I think the apt is colder than the outside actually.  Once one gets out and gets moving it is better.  This will keep me active and fit as I have now already booked my next pad in Cusco, near the Sacred Valley where these flowers flourish!
