Coco Chanel study

Chanel Modes Study, oil on panel, 5″ x 7″, by Jessica Libor 2018

This 5″ x 7″ oil on panel study was made in preparation for a larger painting with the same subject matter.  Did you know that Coco Chanel was a milliner (hat maker) before she began making dresses?  She had her own shop, called “Chanel Modes.”

Message if interested in this piece!  Done while studying at the Grand Central Atelier.

If all the world’s a stage, who do you play today?  In this outfit I felt transported to the 1940s, playing the part of a femme fatale in a mysterious plot.  The best fashion transports and transforms the wearer into a different state of mind. Delighted to collaborate with Top Vintage Boutique on this project with photographs by Jake Foden at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Last weekend, I had a private art show at my studio!  I was inspired by the old Parisian “Salons” that existed in Victorian times, that gathered together painters, musicians, writers, and businesspeople to all enjoy an evening of meeting new people and conversing about the arts culture.  It was so much fun to invite people into my world to see where I create my paintings.  I spent a lot of time getting ready for the event, cooking homemade stuffed shells, salads, and for dessert, miniature cupcakes and angel food cake with whipped cream and strawberries, with bubbly punch and assorted wines.  I set up the space to showcase my sketches and paintings, including one work-in-progress that is on my easel.  Candlelight served as the perfect lighting accent to bring the work into focus with a soft glow.  Several happy collectors went home with new works of art that evening, and everyone had a lovely relaxed evening.  One of the highlights of the evening was the electric violin live performance by Brian Fitzy, who has played with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
