Welcome to my internet journal. I will be discussing the rationale for my artwork and providing work-in-progress details. I will also comment on current events and general thoughts.

Seven Deadly Sins - Work in Process 2

| 12 February, 2012 16:21

Seven Deadly Sins WIP2 Here is The Seven Deadly Sins with some additional work in the yellow area at the top right.  I have reduced the intensity of the yellow, which was drawing the eye away from the overall composition.  As described in my earlier post, I have categorized the sins into primary and secondary, with sloth being the threshold to perdition, where lack of action allows the other sins to prevail.  Earlier Church descriptions have stated that pride is primary sin with the others being directly tied to it.  Greed has also been argued as the primary sin.  Pope Gregory the Great listed the sins from most deadly to least as; pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony and lust.

In 2008, the Vatican added an additional seven social sins consisting of polluting, genetic engineering, being obscenely rich, drug dealing, abortion, pedophilia and causing social injustice.  Hmmm, this could turn into a series.
