TOLEDO, Ore. – Mona Lisa has been spotted in Oregon.

No, the enigmatic lady hasn’t moved from The Louvre to the Pacific Northwest – she has been reproduced on a grassy hillside visible from Highway 20. And she has been drawing plenty of attention.

“Today on our way back to Newport from Toledo there were 4-6 cars pulled to the side of the road there taking pictures and so excited about what they were seeing,” Pat Ringer told KGW.

An Oregon State Police trooper was among onlookers who stopped to gaze at the Mona Lisa apparently burned into the hillside with a blowtorch, according to OSP Lt. Gregg Hastings.

“This picture has all of the details of the original painting and even the shadow along the nose…this is the first time that I have ever seen anything like this...this is something that will just send chills through you, it is so real,” Ringer said.

The reproduction is about two or three miles from Toledo, on the left-hand side as a person drives from Toledo toward Newport, according to Ringer, who described it as "breathtaking" and "huge."

As with the original Mona Lisa, this one raises more questions than answers. Who, for instance, is the artist that transformed a common hillside into a masterpiece? When was it created? And does the artist in question have plans for the rest of his countryside canvas?
