22 x 28 acrylic and oil on canvas
This piece I really wanted to do for the 7 deadly sins contest but I wasnt even a deviant art member when the contest took place. I branced out and put this piece together with a lot of things going on. There are again several meanings and messages behind this painting and I was trying to effectively use some symbolism to convey specific aspects in this piece.
After posting it the first time I had several people say there was a mistake in this piece as well in the reflections in the mirror. I assure you if you get the meaning behind this piece there is absolutely no mistake and that it was done intentionally. hehehehe

Hehehehe.... Oh it doesnt bother me at all. Art is interpreted differently by each person that views it. Sometimes what you want to portray means something totally different to someone else than what it does to the artist. I rather enjoy people trying to figure my work out sometimes. My mother cracks me up at times doing this because she is way off base but when i look at the piece i can totally see where she is coming from. She makes me sound so deep .. pauauahahahaha its hilarious.

Thank you. hehehe
Eh yes your are somewhat close on the meaning. The idea was vanity and envy in the same painting. The female in the painting is eaten up with vanity and her self image is perfect yet she is blind to what is really there; empty hearted and alone full of self love. The reflection she is blinded to is perfect. The 3 figures in the bottom envy this person while she still pushes them out.
It is meant to show the idea that we envy so many things in life but when we see the full picture we arent always seeing the truth. As for this person she herself isnt even seeing the truth because she is so wrapped up in herself.
THank you so much for the compliment. Im really glad you liked it!
