Clara Bow

I am honored and grateful for the opportunity to paint something for the Clara Bo and Gatsby Wine Bar opening in the former Liberty Inn location. It has been great being able to follow progress photos (https://www.facebook.com/ClaraBoandGatsbyWineBar) of the transformation. Our friend Matthew Stalsberg has done such amazing work--great quality craftsmanship. My husband and I were lucky enough to have been invited in and the space literally took our breath away.

In January I did five vintage stocking paintings (http://halliekohn.blogspot.com/2014/01/art-deco-project.html) and was so flattered to be asked to do another piece for the space. This painting was inspired by an artist from the 1920s that the designer loves called Tamara de Lempicka. I was also provided a beautiful black and white photo of Clara Bow, the restaurants namesake, that was extremely inspiring to me.
