Also known as the sin of gluttony or laziness

the sin of Gula, — Wasting of food, either through overindulgence in food, drink or intoxicants, misplaced desire for food for its sensuality, or withholding food from the needy ...
A more modern synonym for the sin of Gula might be "addiction", and this wouldperhaps a more appropriate discribtion what gluttony is . why do people indulge in such reckless excess, be it through a cigarette, a martini, or a chicken drumstick? Boredom, frustration, depression, a feeling of longing....

  • Punishment in Hell: forced to eat rats, toads, and snakes
    animal refered to this sin is the pig
    color of the sin is orange
    demon related to this sin: Beelzebub..

i'm not so sure of the pose, i think its a bit unnatural , and after i came to the conclusion that i was painting this thing in the wrong color, it took a bit the fun away and the inspiration because i had imagined everything in yellow and after my conclusion that it had to be orange, i got a bit mixup ... you know why orange is the color for this.. i learned in coloreducation that orange stimulates the feel of getting hungry, thats why in a orange kitchen or dinerroom you always seem to have that feeling of hunger, and its because i started to thing on this that i came to the conclusion that i was painting in the wrong color

I like how you didn't make her obscenely fat like you'd think of with gluttony. Again, you're taking this in a new direction and that's fantastic! Background looks good, too!

This is very well-done picture, and I'd consider it beautiful if it weren't for the symbolism of gluttony. In fact, that may be its one drawback: it's too nice, too pretty. She doesn't look like an addict or a glutton of any kind. A bit lazy, yeah, but for all we know she's just relaxing from a busy day. It would help to give some indication of work around her that she should be doing, but is putting off. Or mounds of food, or something for the addiction side of it. Making her either fat or wasted would help the symbolism, though be less pleasant to look at. But gluttony isn't supposed to be pretty.

Again, I'm saying this because the picture IS pretty, which means artistically you've done a great job.
