Beginning a new encaustic painting, 24x36

Now that I've created a new website, it's time to get back in the studio!  My encaustic studio is kind of cold as it is in an attached garage.  Though renovated (wall cabinets removed to allow hanging space and more room in general to maneuver myself and the paintings around.  It is still a tight space, but a large table on wheels is helpful. It gets a bit cold when the temperature drops below zero, but it is manageable and with the updated ventilation system, the bottle of ice no longer freezes!


Today, I will work on glazing to improve the overall unity and the design as well; color saturation and values need to be evaluated.  I would like the piece to read well from a distance, as well as up close.
