Friends, see this picture of Mona Lisa. 3,604 cups of coffee have been used to make this giant Mona Lisa painting in Sydney, Australia. The 3,604 cups of coffee were each filled with different amounts of milk to create the different tones and shades. I congratulate the artist who made it. Just imagine how difficult this work is. Such artists certainly need encouragement and awards from their government and people,[i][b] what is your view over this? [/b][/i]Professor

It is a very creative piece of work! I am sure local people are proud to have such art displayed in their neighbourhood. How long are they going to keep this picture? I assume coffee will drain pretty quickly under the hot Sun in Australia. Thanks for sharing!

Well, I've had the pleasure in my life of having seen the actual Mona Lisa and that really is a truly amazing work of art. However, this model of the original painting done with the coffee cups borders on being even more amazing than the original work of art. That is absolutely phenomenal and I really find it hard to believe that someone had the patience to actually be able to do that with such an unconventional media.

Too bad, by the time he was done the coffee was probably cold.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-RBG68Nimg This fascinated me, so I did some of my own research on it & found this video on youtube showing a time lapse of them actually creating this masterpiece (for those who are interested). I wonder how long it took them to figure out the exact amount of milk to use or when to use dark or light coffee. Thanks for sharing this...hats off to the Aussies!!!

Holy Molly, Prof!!! This is brilliant!I admire Leonardo's great talent for painting his wife's face with that mysterious smile that must have launched a thousand ships, but this one is extraordinaire! It must take a genius to create this obra maestra.I'm perplexed how this thing has been created but I am more amazed. Kudos to the artist.

Yes professor they need appreciationa nd encouragement. I had seen a person making pictures on toast. I had been to an art exhibition where i saw a person who made pictures using newspaper cutouts, one person made a canvas of cotton and painted on it....there are lots of people who make things which is out of someone else's imagination.
