Hi Everyone, I am still painting some furniture for my art gallery just to add another dimension. The wing back chair I painted sold immediately so I needed something else to put in that empty spot. I painted this cute little table "Refined Red", a pretty color chalk paint from Vintage Furniture Paint Inc. I love the paint because you don't have to wax it...the wax is already in it, and it goes on very smoothly and feels amazing to the touch. Inside the drawer, I papered with a little hounds tooth red and white check. But the top is what I am most proud of. I painted a key, a letter and a pocket watch in Trompe l'oeil, which is a French technique and means to "fool the eye". The objects, through shading, appear to just lie there on the table. You feel like you could just pick them up!

ReplyDeleteThe trompe l'oeil pieces turned out great. I'm sure they will be quick to sell.
