In praise of the sun























Sunna
A mixed media (indian ink, acrylic ink, gouache, poster paint, watercolour) on paper (10cm x 14cm).

Sunna is a sun goddess. We often think of the sun deity as being male, because of the legacy of Greek and Roman mythologies. However, in many mythologies the sun is worshiped as a goddess. In old high German mythology the sun is personified as Sunna.
