Good morning!

"You may not always have a comfortable life, and you will not always be able to solve all of the world's problems at once, but don't ever underestimate the importance you can have - because #history has shown us that #courage can be #contagious and #hope can take on a #life of its own."

~ #MichelleObama

Don't ever underestimate what it is possible for you to do.

Hope. #Believe. #Act. Keep going.

I got an old army map book at a consignment shop & modified it until it was a nice sketchbook holder. Also painted all over it over the last three nights.

There’s a little video of all the sides of it & a short explanation over on my instagram page if you want to see that (doodlesofjam)

Marianne North traveled to 6 continents & 17 countries, painting exotic plants in remote & hazardous jungles… all while traveling alone in Victorian dress in the 1800s.

North depicted over 1,000 scientifically accurate pitcher plants, orchids, ferns & more. Her oil paintings introduced botanists to multiple previously unidentified species & several are named after her.

Her art has its own gallery at Kew Royal Botanical Gardens. https://artsandculture.google.com/story/marianne-north-an-unsung-pioneer-of-botanical-art-kew-royal-botanic-gardens/OQVB7c9EslEtHQ?hl=en #HistoryRemix #history #art #science
