Machu Picchu 1.6.16
Every day is an adventure in the studio and today was no exception. With a sparkling new Arches pad, together with Krista’s prompt to choose our own adventure for this week’s Discover Challenge, Machu Picchu seemed to be the obvious subject to revisit.
Those of you who follow my blog will know that the greatest adventure of our lives was the six day trek my wife and I took in 2013 to Machu Picchu. I started the blog in May that year before we left so that family and friends could be part of the adventure, albeit virtually.
Over the past three years I have posted many photos from the trip, including a gallery in response to Krista’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Reward last year, but with her prompt today and my pristine new Arches pad, I think June may become Machu Picchu month in the studio.
Stay tuned…

Thanks Tina. Arches is the name of the best watercolour paper you can buy. The pad cover can be seen at the bottom of the post 🙂

Glorious! I’m going to be in Northern Chile later in the year and am hoping to be able to include Bolivia (for family reasons) and Peru for reasons of always having wanted to go …. I shall have to delve back into your blog to find more tasty lures!

Thanks Osyth. Lucky you. So much to look forward to. If you open up Travel in the top menu you will find Machu Picchu under Peru and you can follow the Six days of the trek as well as lots of other goodies. Bon Voyage 🙂

I love your paintings and your importance of doing something in the arts, regularly. Our son Andrew will be going to Peru next week, for nine weeks. Will be sure to pass on your blog and paintings of this marvellous sounding part of the world.
