Pandora's Box
Nupastel on museum board

This figurative painting is my take on the old, familiar story. I tried showing the moment before she opens the box and lets out all the evil, nasty things into the world. This was done from life, with the exception of the dress and box, which were drawn from a photograph. I included some closeups of the hands and face.

I'd really appreciate your comments, critiques, complaints, etc. Thanks for looking.
