My good friend of many years has come for a visit. His name is Peter Alcock, and he is a talented designer and photographer:
I am loving having so many wonderful creative people around. It inspires my own work, and having two photographers in the house gets my powers of observation tweaked and exercised.
Speaking of house, Peter worked some of his magic to create more space throughout the house. It definitely sped up the process of settling in a little deeper here in Santuario…
Walls came down, y’all. Walls came down.
Peter is very much an international man, having traveled and lived extensively abroad from his native Australia. It has been ‘bacano’ (cool) to chart our directories having known each other for over ten years… artist’s growing up together.
So he’s off tomorrow to Buenas Aires, then home to Sydney.
I was glad to have him and Robert here to spend a traditional Colombian Christmas with… eating and drinking and lighting many fireworks. Aguardiente is… an experience, as is chicharron, buñuelos and hanging out with the coffee workers after a day in the hills.
I’ll see him again one of these days, I’m sure. If only to get him back here and help out with the interiors of my future home with Hector. Peter is good at what he does, rest assured.
And I’ll keep drawing…
