Planning this trip back on October is not of the biggest gifts I could have given myself – especially since January gave me such a hard run. Kauai is the best place to melt off any darkness, and any tension and built up apathy from winter – this place is truly gorgeous. We are here with purpose, spending most of our time taking a botanical illustration workshop at the National Tropical Botanical Gardens, which is, for all intensive purposes, just like Jurassic Park. Lots of good painting time, lots to take in. 10 more days to go.
