I choose to paint the pineapple in a relaxed position...and a version of this pineapple is included in the gorgeous coffee table art book A Painter's Paradise....paintings by local artists of the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay... Fairhope is a welcoming town embracing the arts....warmth ...and congeniality...breeze through the town....this particular pineapple is 12 x 24...acrylic on linen....( I just painted a 6 x 12  version that was given as a wedding gift along with the book ...) Oh....eating fresh pineapple is a delightful remedy for inflammation ! This is another example of good food for the eyes....
