The Three Graces has been given more interpretations throughout history than perhaps any other work of art. Painting magnolia blossoms as the Graces may be taking too much liberty as an artist, but it was a challenging and fun adventure. To compose the curling blossoms as arms and hands curving and touching and to adapt its creamy petals to skin tones—was it successful?

Portraiture and figurative paintings by pastel artist Carolyn Hancock combine realism with expressive personality.
