It’s been 3 years since being rearended by the van. The tremor in my hand is not much better. Am taking care of myself, via Chinese medicine and changes in my diet to manage and hopefully lessen tremors. Mostly, I have been drawing these last few years. Painting only a little. This year I have found a new way to paint, as I cannot do the finishing edges the way I used to due to tremoring. I feel like I am starting over. Painting more primitively and using thick edges like I used to do. It’s a new beginning.
The Sketchbook Project
I've been working on my sketchbook. It's been interesting putting it together. Did the paintings first with the intention they will adorn the pages with journal entries in between. I'll post them here after I turn the book in. It will be placed in the Brooklyn Art Library, and digitized for a permanent online record. I'll post photos and/or a video clip after I turn it in. You can look up past sketchbooks at https://www.sketchbookproject.com/libraries
Working on website
It's slow going and I need new pictures! I am determined to get this site up and running. It may not be perfect, but I'll keep doing the best I can. I just want it up and out there. Tonight I'll get my domain name sarahhatchart.com Yay!
What's next
In December 2016, in my car, I got hit by a van. It was 4 months that I did not paint, draw, anything. I've never not painted before. I've always created daily, no matter what. I suppose being older has something to do with it. Last Wednesday, I got creative again. Check out the new works page. That's where I'll post anything I'm working on. The beginnings of all things art. I also have a blog on blogspot called All Things Art. www.aliasartist.blogspot.com
In the beginning
All I ever wanted to do is paint, draw, create. I was told I could do it and for that moment I believed it. I have believed it ever since, even when others said I wasn't good enough. It's been the one thing I knew for sure. I had a good "eye". I saw and see things in my own way. ©SAH 4-29-17
