The Sacred Ibis



The Sacred Ibis
Gouache & Collage on Antique Postcard
3.5 x 5.5 inches

Price: SOLD

This is a very old postcard from Egypt. I painted Egypt's Sacred Ibis Egg in gouache, as if it's just as spectacular as the pyramid in the background. I then collaged using papers and an antique postage stamp. I loved the way the camel and visitors cast a shadow on the wall along the walkway to the pyramid.
