Meanwhile I have a pineapple dish given me by a dear friend who noticed my obsssion and I drew it for one Inktober offering. On the same page, I played with making up a new pineapple print, and a different pattern (nothing to do with pineapples).

Patterns, pineapples, by Elaine (jaguarish)
Pineapples caught my interest about a year ago and they've been on my mind. I rarely doodle these days (much preferring to draw a real subject) but I do like to screen print T shirts. With that in mind, I woke up one morning with a clear idea of making a pineapple picture using a pattern of Baroque curlicues. First I painted the more realistically coloured, yellow/green pineapple on the right, to fix the "normal" look and shape of a pineapple in my head, then went with the curlicues for the left-hand image.

I like all your drawings Elaine - the curly design on the first pineapple works well.
ReplyDeletegreat idea for patterns which reminds me I have a pineapple plate I bought at a thrift store once. Nice job on these.
ReplyDeleteDelighted by your pineapples. I too am drawn to the curls in blue. All the colors in that print shout to me!
