Chris Naylor gets to work


A South Croydon woman named Tania Ledger woke one morning with a unique yearning that only Chris Naylor could fill.

Taking some basic garden tools and a lawnmower, 3D Art Expert Chris was hired to fashion a rendering of the Mona Lisa in her South London lawn.

Working with nature’s canvas he carefully prepared the surface, trimmed the blades of grass and over the course of two days the woman with the enigmatic smirk came to life.

From telegraph.co.uk, “It’s like a hair cut - if you don't like it you can grow it out and you can try out as many new looks as you like,” Tania said. "Having experimented with topiary already, my lawn seemed like the perfect blank canvas to host my next creation."

Naylor earned his reputation reconstructing the famous art work of Leonardo for the film The Da Vinci Code.

The “Mowna Lisa” as it has been dubbed, will grow out in a couple of weeks returning to its usual state. Until then Tania Ledger has a backyard that carries the prestige of one of the most recognized paintings in history.
