The Lisa's.. "I've had fun over the years doing copies of the world's most famous painting and twisting it about.. I didn't like the Mona Lisa much, but now I do have big affection for her. She always comes out differently, not like the original at all, and sometimes a bit rushed, I admit!! But Leonardo painted Mona over many years, and the original is quite tiny.. Mine are created in a few days, in the heat, on dirty pavement surfaces, with hundreds of people asking me those (same three!!!) questions... There are a few not included here, from the "olden" pre-digital days when I took terrible photos!
Ade-lisa © Ulla Taylor 2007. This was a huge picture for three days work in public(~3 x 2m), and photographed before completion. I would have liked to do more Adelaide icons..		Newie-Lisa © Ulla Taylor 2007. Under rain in Newcastle!!! Rather large for a two day work
Melba-Lisa. Mona Lisa on tour in Melbourne, with Melway street directory, Ozzie rules football, and umbrella. (Before the drought, Melbourne was known as a rainy-town) Melbourne pavement © Ulla Taylor 1994	Freo Lisa An allegory of Freo icons. Freo Lisa drinks local red-back beer on the cappucino strip outside the Markets during the busker festival. Seagulls steal her fish and chips under yellow sunflowers, while performers Lucky Rich, Rumplestiltskin, Flaming utterflies and Isobell Neccessary perform on the beach. A white pointer chases a surfie in front of the Lewin square rig ship. Freo Lisa'a dreadlocks blow in the "Doctor" wind, her Dockers Football jersey is pinned with the Aboriginal landrights flag, she wears a peace pendant, and is burning incense whilst reading about the dingo flour silo... Feature photo in the Fremantle Herald that week.		Freo Lisa II The mona reads the local paper with a cockatoo outside the Fremantle gaol, with the spirits of convicts and Ngoongar people who died there Fremantle pavement, WAustralia © Ulla Taylor 2002
		Slim Dusty An Australian country music legend. Gone to have a beer with Duncan, at the pub with no beer? Queenscliffe Music Festival, pavement. © Ulla Taylor 2005
