Croton at our Hale

Some of Hawaiʻi's most beautiful colors aren't found in flowers—they're found in the leaves. These vibrant croton plants grew along the back fence of our home, their brilliant reds, oranges, greens, and golds changing with the sunlight throughout the day. I loved the incredible patterns and rich tropical colors, so I captured them in watercolor as a reminder that beauty often surrounds us in the places we see every day.
