The person who lived in my island home for thirty years before I came was a landscape artist. HA is also an artist who works in botannicals. The island itself is a rich portrait of beauty painted in plants, on a spectrum from the purely accidental and natural to formal and deliberate. So there’s plenty of beauty to be found in places untouched by humanity, but there are also some absolutely gorgeous landscapes, painted with a botanical palette, all over the island.
Even right outside my office window.
