Susan and the Pineapple
The Saint Paul Saints are famous for their support of local artists. I've been among them, selling art at Saints' games over the years.
For Opening Day 2023, the Saints are sponsoring Faux Bloom, a sculpture garden, which, of course -- this is Minnesota -- was installed surrounded by snow*. A sculptor created 16 pieces, and 16 artists were asked to decorate them. I picked a pineapple. 
Each piece is 4'x2'x2'. From left: the blank pineapple; a partially painted pineapple; two pineapple halves taking up an astonishing amount of space in my living room studio; Mr. Pineapple Installed in front of CHS Stadium in Lowertown Saint Paul. Below: Mr. Pineapple and me.
* Note: Opening Day has been postponed because of snow on the field. It's Minnesota.
