The Unconquerable Sun

 
Sol Invictus is an ancient Roman god whose name means The Unconquerable Sun. Actually, he may as well be called Helios, the Greek Titan of the Sun, but I’ve already given that name to another post. Ancient Egyptian iconography sometimes depicted the Sun god as a child, and I’ve followed that tradition as well by portraying him as a youthful Sun.

This piece is done from imagination in watercolor, ink and gouache on tinted paper. The original dimensions are 12 by 16 inches, or about 30 by 40 centimeters.

    This is a t-shirt waiting to happen. That or something in or around the altar in the temple of the Holy Boy.

    It's very hard to tell if this is a male or a female which is ok with me, but this could also be the face of someone old or young as well, and that's less ok... maybe.
