Grandes Serres Tropical 🌴 Jardin des Plantes

 

Stepping into a wild jungle 🌴

When the rest of the world 🗺️ 

Seems to be going to hell 

In a hand basket 🧺 

Is not a bad idea 👍 

Last week I was invited to a 

Palm Tree 🌴 exposition 

At Grandes Serres - Jardin des Plantes

Have you ever been?

Probably never appeared 

On your Paris 🥐 to-do list. 

I love their menagerie.

By the way the toucan is the guide to all the fun facts on Palm Trees 🌴 They eat the fruit of palm trees.

I got carried away with drawing the toucans…

I get invited to these previews because 

I draw ✍️ onsite = resident artiste 🧑‍🎨 

I discovered I ❤️ Palm Trees 🌴 

Did you know Palms are not a tree? 🌳 

But related to lilies and grasses!

Palm trees grow mostly in tropical areas and deserts, but I saw some this morning in Paris!

They are called Palms because their fronds resemble hands 🙌 

The funny thing is 

Since last week

I keep bumping into Toucans!

Karmic destiny?

The other funny thing is with my collection of maybe 1,001 brushes,

I am mostly painting 

With chopsticks 🥢 Life is full of surprises.

Funny thing is…when I went to eat my Asian noodle soup 🥣 I discovered I had no more wooden chopsticks to eat it with!

If you want to know what’s been going on, watch Heather Stimmler’s Secrets of Paris video.

I went yesterday to a very crowded, but wonderful new exhibit, GUSTAVE FEYET at Fondation Louis Vuitton. 

Report coming soon.

I jazzed up Marché des Enfants Rouge to make it more fun 🎉
