Glowing Ibis, white ibis, wildlife, sunlit bird

"Glowing Ibis" © Fawn McNeill 2004
". . . Put on the armor of light." Romans 13:12

Windy morning, the sun shone right through his feathers.  I got a few pictures of this ibis before he took off. 
This painting is part of a series of ten paintings that started with dripping-wet abstract backgrounds.  I added the opaque layers of detail after it dried.  This is a very messy and fun technique.  I covered the floor under my easel with spots and splatters everywhere! 
The thin paint acted like watercolors on the canvas, which was fun to watch spread and run. However, it jeapardized the paint quality, so I used several layers of clear sealer to keep the paint from rubbing off later.
