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.

Art Deco Project

These paintings were commissioned for use in an establishment being opened in the area. I  was asked to come up with five small Art Deco/Great Gatsby pieces that were sexy and fun and kind of given free reign. The client wanted black and white so as to reproduce the image in a variety of ways. I knew I was on the right track when my husband commented on how sexy they were!

Vintage Ring

Many of you know that I have been looking for vintage photographs. Have been doing lots of searching and happened upon some beautiful vintage rings. I love them. Not sure how many I will paint as this little painting took a loooong time to do. Lots of little detail, which I have a love hate relationship with.
