Sunny day, windows open and painting in the studio. Working on a commission today for a seascape - something similar to the Kota Kinabalu abstract. Easel in the garden- quite a novelty for this country. Yes resorting to a base of blues and sand/ neutrals but about to liven it up a little ,create layers and the uncover base layer again. 

New abstract on 7mm panel. Many hours go into the preparation of the panel, sanding and adding five layers of clear gesso. Very happy with the results though and there is something incredibly satisfying by creating a surface from scratch. £250 and available at SarahHartney.com.
