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.

Just a reminder that I'll be at The Artists' Loft in Seneca, SC on Saturday, 9/24, 11-1 talking and demonstrating about cold wax and oil.  Y'all know how I love this medium.  They may have to drag me off with a hook!!!!  I have some new ideas that I'll share also......theartistsloftsc.com.  As always you can see my work at Hang It Up Gallery in Hartwell, GA and by appointment at my very crowded studio in Franklin Springs, Ga.  hangitupgalleryandstudios.com and my website workofhart.net.

NEW SURFACES/NEW IDEAS

I've been turned on to a new surface for cold wax and oil by Rebecca Crowell (internationally known cold wax and oil artist).  This surface is paper with a resin coating.  Rebecca is using this for art work that will be shown in Dublin, Ireland (how cool is that?).  I've ordered several small pieces and hopefully will have time to demonstrate this at Art Talk in Seneca, SC at The Artists Loft on 9/24/11 from 11-1.  Even though Claybord is an awesome surface to work on, it gets cumbersome trying to move around.  We'll see how it goes.  Here's a link to Rebecca's work:  rebeccacrowell.blogspot.com and rebeccacrowell.com.  You can also see her work on Facebook.
