This Scarlet Ibis was painted in oils on a canvas panel and then framed. It is hanging in our home  right now. I found this bird while at Moody Gardens in Galveston, Texas.  We took our grandsons there and took tons of photos.  This piece measures 10"x20" and with the frame it is bigger.  The frame is yours.

Adult plumage is virtually all scarlet. The feathers may show various tints and shades, but only the tips of their wings deviate from their namesake color. A small but reliable marking, these wingtips are a rich inky black (or occasionally dark blue) and are found only on the longest primaries^[10] – otherwise the birds' coloration is "a vivid orange-red, almost luminous in quality."^[11] Scarlet ibises have red bills and feet however the bill is sometimes blackish, especially toward the end.^[12] They have a long, narrow, decurved bill. Their legs and neck are long and extended in flight.^[13]
