USA: Anonymous art aficionado burns large representation of the Mona Lisa into an Oregon hillside

Mona Lisa has been spotted in the western U.S. state of Oregon. Not the famous Leonardo Da Vinci painting, but a re-creation burned into a grassy hillside near Portland. The artist of this countryside canvas remains unknown. Local troopers believe the artist used a blowtorch to create the image in the yellow grass. The larger than life work of natural art has many of the details of the original masterpiece including a shadow along the nose. The vision of this enigmatic lady off the highway has caused many cars to pull over and take pictures. The original Mona Lisa is still at the Louvre.
