1. She was in a good position now, with time on her side.
   2) The painting was reframed and hung on the wall, more stunning than ever.
   3) The painting was reframed and hung on the wall, a stunning work of art.

Do the first two examples require the conjunction and (is it optional)? Can the phrases not be used in the same way as 3 without the conjunction.

You can place a coordinating conjunction in these. Sometimes you may see them with a conjunction, not sure about 3). But not all of these types of phrases work like that.

I just wondered what the difference was if any.

1. She was in a good position now, with time on her side.

2.The painting was reframed and hung on the wall, more stunning than ever.
3.The painting was reframed and hung on the wall, a stunning work of art.
