Description
A watercolour botanical portrait of a Costa Rican pineapple, showing the colour transitions of the individual fruits. The fruits are reminiscent of pine cones the way they are arranged on the 'core', hence the name pineapple being given when they were discovered by European explorers in the Americas. A symbol of welcome and hospitality, they feature heavily in architectural decorations such as finials, pediments and door knockers. A challenge to draw, a pleasure to paint!
