Description
Original watercolor painting, 'Wire-tailed Manakin in the Rainforest', by Lynn Cyrus / Cascade Colors. This small bird is one of many species of manakin that are native to the Amazon rainforest of South America. This particular species can be found in Peru, Ecuador, Columbia, and portions of Venezuela. I had the pleasure of seeing the male bird (painted here!) while I visited a nature preserve in the tropical forests of southeastern Ecuador. This tiny, vivid and colorful bird, perched on a distant branch, his narrow, wiry tail plumes visible and prominent. I chose to add many different colors in the forest leaves and background of this painting, to convey a bit of sunlight reaching down towards the otherwise very dark forest floor.
