Sunday Wild Flower collection

Description

Sunday is named for Sól, Norse goddess of the sun. Sól was the sister of the moon god Máni. Pursued by the wolf Sköll, she was pilot of the sun chariot, pulled by the horses, Arvak and Alsvid.

This struggle depicted the solar eclipse. According to Norse mythology, prior to the end of the world at Ragnarok, Sól gives birth to a daughter, but is subsequently devoured by the wolf.

Named Sunna, the daughter takes her mother’s role as the sun charioteer.

Measuring 24 inches square, 2 inches deep, this is a beautifully detailed, textured painting. Shaping the hand crafted wood panel with chisels, rasps, & sandpaper, this painting is a one-of-a-kind addition to any home or office.

*Constructed between March and June of 2009, paintings from the Wild Flower collection include 10 & 24 inch square paintings celebrating Norse mythology & it's unique connection with the Gregorian calendar. Designed for special exhibition, these paintings are available at Wild Flower in St Louis, MO or direct to you from my studio, through Etsy.
