Based in Barcelona, Marta Prior paints watercolor sketches of adorable anthropomorphic fruits and vegetables practicing yoga. The art and illustration teacher created a few different series in this theme, from Moleskine Color Sketches to Watercolor Yoga to Figs Doing Yoga and the simply named 'Pears.' All these series can be viewed along with other select works on the artist's website.
The yogi food items include not just meditative pears and figs, but apples, avocados, broccoli, cauliflower, cherries, peppers, pineapples, potatoes, radishes, tomatoes and watermelon among others. Whether you appreciate cute watercolor sketches or practice yoga, you will enjoy these fruit and vegetable paintings. A far cry from what you might expect when you think of pear paintings, Prior's work is a must see.
