Another surreal portrait for my series: "Veggie Ladies". This time the pineapple is in the foreground. I immediately associate this fruit with cocktails, summer, holidays and the Caribbean. That's why I chose a dark-skinned type this time and painted her bright green eyes as a little special feature. This reminds me of the Creole type, which I also like very much. As with all the pictures in this series, this time only parts of pineapple photos were used to create the dress and the headdress. Sometimes top view, sometimes pineapple in an early growth stage, sometimes as a slice etc. Of course, I adapted the proportions of the photos to my purposes and applied a painting filter to make them fit the woman, because this beauty is, of course, hand-painted as always. Take the time to look at the portrait in detail. Can you hear the gentle sound of the waves on the beach? Can you feel the light breeze and the warmth of the sun on your skin? Sounds of steel drums reach your ears. Where the music is playing, there must be delicious cocktails with pineapple and tropical decorations. "Welcome to the Caribbean".
