Getting back to work

I've gotten my studio set up and am ready to start work, focusing on projects for the Encaustic Conference in Mass. However, I need to address the ventilation issues. My studio is in a large area shared by several other artists. Getting the wax fumes vented is going to be tough in the winter - in the summer I can just open some garage doors and wa-la ventilation happens! Meanwhile, I put in a picture of work from last fall - a series honoring my mother (95 and counting).
