Show and Tell Friday is hosted by Kelli at There is No Place Like Home.
As I mentioned in a post last fall, I have quite a collection of pineapple themed items here at Oak Rise Cottage. The pineapple is a symbol of hospitality and I enjoy having family and friends over. Here is an original watercolor painting I bought for only fifty cents at a church yard sale back in the 1980’s. It measures 16" high by 20" wide.

The subject of the painting, two pineapples with a knife that has been used to split one of the pineapples in two, is very well executed by the artist.

I bought the painting unmatted. Soon after I was given a framed print by my sister, and I found that the 27" x 21" frame and mat was just right for my thrifted painting.

Thanks for stopping by and do visit more Show and Tell at Kelli’s house.

How I do love to stop in here for a hospitable visit. So many uplifting things. Always a joy. : )
What a treasure for 50cents! I'm always amazed at some of the things families give up for church and yard sales. Sally

That's really neat. I love pinapples. And what a bargain!
That's neat that you were able to frame and mat it for free - that can cost so much. The print looks great!

How delightful your pineapple is, love the frame.
Love the pineapple.
That is a lovely painting, and what a bargain! I used to paint, don't remember ever painting a pineapple. I think they would be hard to paint!

I love your painting. It's beautiful! I love how it represents hospitality. I don't have a pineapple painting, but I do have a pineapple flag flying outside of my front door!
