[gardenart]

A couple of pieces I did Sunday. THis pineapple was done from life then eaten. Yummy Both pictures are on Strathmore 140# 9x12". All C&C welcome and invited.

Thanks to WatercolorBill for this reference in the image library. I never managed to get eh sky reflections in the water. Any advice?

Thanks for looking.

When I first saw the title of this post I thought, "a pineapple in a sunrise, hummh." Then I looked at the first picture and said, "yes, those are the colors of the sunrise." Then I fell in love with the actual sunrise picture! I like the subtlety of the reflection.

Sue, nice work on Sunday!! Love the lush pineapple!! Nice work on the reflections in the 2nd one. Sue, I cropped to the bottom of the pier reflections and liked it that way, too. Just a thought!!

Hahahaha! When I saw the title, I thought "coctails" YUM!

We had a pineapple this weekend that looked exactly like the one you painted, it was sooo sweet and yummmmmy! It was devoured quickly.

These are both great paintings!

Thanks for sharing,

put a little more depth in your pineapple leaves with some darks - do a little more dark/ texture on the dark side of the pineapple too. I think that will bring some more excitement to the painting. I like it!

Thank you all for stopping in and commenting. THe darks are a little darker IRL on both of these. No cocktails though. Just some fun things to pass a Sunday afternoon.
