| The Three Graces Acrylic Mixed Media 16 x 11" cold pressed watercolour paper. ©2012 Kirstin McCulloch |
Of the nine figures in Botticelli's painting, three of them are the 'Graces'. They are the goddesses of Charm, Beauty and Creativity.
I didn't need to read any more, (although of course I did!), because I knew what I wanted to paint this week. I wanted to put my spin on the Three Graces.
So here they are, goddess of charm, creativity and beauty.
Thanks to Lisa, for this weeks challenge.
This is such a cute and fun interpretation of the three graces! Love the colors and their clear, beautiful eyes!

Thanks Darla - I was lucky it was one of those days where inspiration struck instantly! x
DeleteHi Kirsten! I was hoping someone would be enticed to do the 3 Graces.
ReplyDeleteI am am over the moon with your artwork! Now YOU have inspired ME to
do my version.
I love the paint brushes in Creativity's hair.
These girls remind me of my Blythe doll...you could pull the string in the back of her head to change eye color...you are prolly too young to remember :)
Anyway, brilliant work this week. ♥♥♥
I would love to see your version Lisa! Thank you so much for your lovely comments. (Your right! I only had barbies growing up - I would have loved a Blythe doll that changed eye colour!) Thanks x

Thanks! The blue bird was inspired by Beans collection of princess stories - they all seem to have charm with the birds don't they! x
DeleteCongratulations again, and I love these Three Graces! I could definitely see them as a children's animated show characters, with their expressive faces, big eyes, and the life and soul you see into them. Really pretty design.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! Such a lovely comment x
DeleteI realize I'm late getting here to wish you congrats for winning the Red Carpet award last week. But I am very impressed with your Botticelli inspired Allegory of Spring's The Three Graces. They are all so adorable. You have a very distinct style. Again, congratulations on a job well done.
