UPDATE: AC #205: TROPICS




I take the TROPICS into 
the Castle at the Eisenbach, because Winter is long and my feet are cold. 



Looking for green!




In my invite for this Art Challenge I've told you, 
that I wanna draw again. So I've drawn with pencil and liked it a lot!

Then I've added that green circle of clear film and transformed 
it into a telescope, because I am in awe for the researchers of yesteryears: 
all those plant hunters! and travelers in former days, especially 




the female researchers! 
great artists like Maria Sibylla Merian or woman writer like 
Ida Hahn-Hahn, who traveled in the early 18th or 19th century.



And even today there are brave women, 
who leave their comfort zone to live passion, freedom and love.
Like my dear friend Azalee, my sister of the River Nile, who is now
partner of a newly opened up gallery of art in Khartoum, Sudan. 
{Congrats, Dear!}


Wanna see more of TROPICS? 
Then, please travel to these artist:

UPDATE: and Pieterbie!


Thank you for playing!

  1. your drawing is lovely Ariane.
    I find it fun to see it with the green circle, but had thought you colored that section.
    I also thought of women who traveled and studied plants: Marianne North.

    Thank you for being our host.

    I love your drawings. They are full of longing. I like your bananas, too. Always mischievous you.
    And thank you for mentioning our gallery. Once overcome the doubts and fears, I am immersed in the new world, happy to be surrounded by art and artists. The only thing missing is you.. my heart.

  8. Wonderful! That's the first thing I thought of...a sort of Dr Livingston in the jungle looking thru his telescope. I love the work of Marianne North (1830 to 1890). I love to be at Kew gardens in her gallery surrounded by her hundreds of paintings. How fabulous to be one of the first women travellers in those Victorian days. Thank you so much for hosting. :D

  9. i have simply NO idea where my comment slipped away to, unless ofcourse i wrote it offline and never sent it? how rude is that? but then again, i get another chance at coming, sweating in the tropics chez toi. now, i'm glad your circle of green seems to be working alright. i discover more and more sproutings of green every day. thank you for starting that up!

    when visiting kew gardens, i always slip inside Marianne North's impressive pavillion, where a timeline recounts her fantastic story of travelling in the early 19th century and her relation with kew (offering her work to the gardens after her death). look up marianne north, you will be surprised.

    and am still wanting to come see sybilla merian!!! when shall we settle that date? :-)))

    okay, will be back again later this weekend, for piggy (banks) galore... ;)))
