7 deadly sins!

So today at work a client points at the wall and asks me and another esthetician how people react to the painting we have hung up on our wall. I hadn't ever really looked too deep into the painting. I have always just thought that it was just a simple painting with a girl on it and then the word envy across it. Well as everyone knows there is always a meaning behind every painting and for some reason when this painting was being explained to me I was very interested. This artist named Joe Esquibel did 7 paintings One painting of ENVY, PRIDE, GLUTTONY, LUST, WRATH, GREED, and SLOTH. Also known as the 7 deadly sins! As weird as this is, this is the first time I have ever heard about the 7 deadly sins as the 7 deadly sins. Of course I knew about envy, pride and so forth. I just never knew that's what they were called.
After learning about the painting and really thinking about the 7 deadly sins it really opened up my eyes. Its amazing how many people there are that have all 7 of those in there lives including myself! I honestly can say I have been every single one of those at one point in my life. It makes me want to rethink my actions and be more conscious of it all. Its funny how a simple painting can do that to you. I definitely wont be looking at that painting the same as I have been for the last 3 1/2 years:)
BIG ACRYLIC PAINTING (purchased by a beauty salon) ... one of seven deadly sins - the other six hang at Design of Today's offices in SLC - Danell seems to like them ... all are humorous and all are very big - I think I'll paint the Virtues next .... Envy was inspired by the late 1950's Barbie doll with her exaggerated neck, eyes, dimensions - what an opportunity for envy ...
