Annie Sloan Chalk Paint........just awesome!!!!!

I've worked in cold wax and oil for the past year and really love it.  I just discovered (new to me, aparently) the line of chalk paint by Annie Sloan (world renowned furniture painter).  Annie is British and has developed this line of paint......no stripping, no priming, no much of nothing!!!!!  Well, the finish is wax so I had to try it.  Here is my first piece.  A lovely little chair found at a local second-hand store.....I used Annie's Paris Grey and Paloma on the chair.  It was already covered (how nice is that).  I finished with a clear coat of wax and some dark wax to distress.  Two hours tops and I was done.  A lovely hard finish of matte wax.....very close to my cold wax and oil paintings.   This chair can be seen in person at Hang It UP Gallery hangitupgalleryandstudios.com in Hartwell, Ga.  As always my art can be seen at workofhart.net and on my blog at workofhartstudioandgallery.blogspot.com
