Seven Sins
acrylic inks, 26.7 x 17.6 inches, 2000.
My mother reminds me they are actually supposed to be the Seven Deadly Sins, which I am sure I called them when I first did this painting, but somehow the title changed and the 'deadliness' was forgotten about at a certain point, and it's too late now.
This is probably prophetic…
'Seven Sins' - painting by Nancy Farmer
This is the first of the Seven Deadly Sins paintings - as I update this website at the start of 2008 there are now 3 Seven Deadly Sins paintings - making a total of 21 sins, which is probably enough for anyone! Nonetheless I think I've not finished with this subject yet, and in the end they may requite a section in my 'gallery' all to themselves. If you're interested you can see the other sins by clicking the thumbnails to the left. To date, I've not yet tackled any of the Seven Heavenly Virtues, but they're on a mental list of things to do one day...
