This is my landscape submission for The Great Outdoors. The creative brief asked: What landscape would I pick to express my creative personality? I didn’t have to think long on what that would be. When I first went to Hawaii, I fell in love. The beautiful glass waters full of colorful creatures. The tropical, wild plants. The warm daily rains. The feel of the air on your skin. We last visited the quaint village of Hilo. We stayed right on the water where a volcanic rock bay created a cove for all the sea turtles. The weather would get saucy some days and all the beautiful Hibiscus flowers would blow into the blue waters and float all around us. Vibrant green plants and pink ginger grew out of the deep black lava rocks. Myrna birds that looked like little cartoon bandits were racing around everywhere. Every day I walked through the tropical jungle and discovered something new.
