It's me isn't it? Paph issue now!

I do have some healthy orchids-or so I think!
I have a Paph. Primulinum that I've had since fall, lots of blooms, still in bloom. However I am now noticing all these "black" markings on the underside of the leaves and base, which I don't believe were always present. The leaves also seem to be a bit "wavy" and not what I believe they should be. I've kept this in south westerly window throughout the winter, seems to be sufficient light, not overly strong (Minnesota, remember). And I THINK I've kept the watering to a comfortable level - ie, letting it go somewhat dry between watering. Mist every morning. I'm including pics, and although the "markings" appears to be red, they're black (it's my camera). I've also included a picture of an individual leaf that has more of a spotting issue, vs more of the heavy discoloration.
Again and again thank you all for helping me thru my first winter as a bonefide NEWBIE!
