Finally Warm

Painting is hindered by freezing extremities and bulky coats, so not much was happening in my studio as the winter descended into its depths of cold. The ornamental JOTUL wood stove is quite charming, but I feared, too small. Turns out it just needed even smaller "logs" what for most fireplaces and stoves would count as kindling. It means being able to paint, so all's well that ends well.
