Description
The pineapple has became a familiar symbolic image of welcome, good cheer, warmth and affection between all who dwell inside the home. The introduction of pineapples to Europe occurred in November of 1493, when Christopher Columbus, on his second voyage to the Caribbean region, went ashore to inspect a deserted Carib village. Among dense foliage and wooden pillars carved with serpents, his crew came upon piles of freshly gathered vegetables and strange fruits. The European sailors ate, enjoyed and wrote about the curious new fruit, which had an abrasive, segmented exterior like a pinecone and a firm interior pulp like an apple.
This painting is done with acrylic on watercolor paper.
