# Lawn Art Mona Lisa in Grass By Pearl | Published 2008-07-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lawn-art-mona-lisa-in-grass-by-chris-naylor References: [telegraph](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/2454153/Mona-Lisa-mown-into-suburban-garden-lawn.html) There is a growing trend in [decorative garden art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/henderson-art-garden). Although topiaries or picturesque, pruned bushes have long being a favourite, the lawn is now another canvas for creative gardeners. Chris Naylor sculpted the famous Mona Lisa and her smile on Tania Ledger's lawn in Croydon, South London using just a [small lawnmower](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-lawn-care-technology) and some garden tools. Chris Naylor is a [3D art expert](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-replica) who worked on the film The Da Vinci Code which also featured the painting. The painting will disappear in a few weeks but like sandcastles and ice sculptures, such fleeting art has a charm of its own.
