Description

The second one from my Deadly Sins serie :] "Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation" Personally I think envy means much more than just a wish to have something someone else has. To me, it means also ACTING AGAINST that person, "revenging" in a way, trying to take the "object of our desire" away from them, or backstabbing them in some way etc. That is why myself I consider envy the "heaviest" sin of all seven. symbolism: - snake - as I mentioned, envy, to me, is connected with cunning and doing something behind one's back :) - poison ivy leaf in the frame (and the column)- maybe just a word play, but I always connected ivy with destruction of some sort... Growing using a different object as a "support"... Something like that ;] - color green - i guess it needs no comment :P Techy info: During the last few weeks I have been going through a small "artistic breakdown", noticing how many mistakes I make etc... So I decided to try to work harder on my pieces from now on and develop my style... So here you go, something more painty than before :] I hope you like it, cause I'm pretty satisfied for now :] Time spent: around 60 hours again, doing those leaves sucked, really! Coming next: (probably) GLUTTONY (now this will be a challenge :D)

I'm glad wishing isn't considered the sin, because I wish I was this good! But the only action I'm taking is VOTING!!!

Beautiful painting!! Your work is impressive, and your talent for painting is superb!! Envy is easily spotted when words give our secret begrudging nature away!! Sometimes even our own actions betray us, while others see beyond our selfish hearts!! Your work is beautiful, my compliments!!! :)

You may rest assured that the work you put into those leaves really paid off. They're wonderful. I found the lighting a little inconsistent (subject lit from right, while background lit from left), but overall, a excellent piece.
