According to an article in a Sunday Detroit newspaper’s “Parade Magazine” from a number of years ago, the artist used latex paint. The idea was not permanence of the painting, but to let it weather. For more information and a look at another of the barns that was painted, see the following webpage: http://jameshowephotography.com/?s=mona+lisa+barn+michigan .

In Montana they are everywhere but the just don’t really have the classy build like Michigan or Wisconsin barns. One reason why I really want to move to Wisconsin someday.

Just outside of Kalamazoo on F ave by the Thornapple Creek golf course.

I haven’t heard of it, but now I want to find it and get a photo. If anyone knows of this, please tell me the address and I’ll get the picture.

Any of these barns captures my soul, some of these barns must date back to the 1800′s. Most still stand strong, others are in need of repair or caving in under the winds of time, yet still grab my attention. I was wondering if the barn out in a field somewhere out by Irish Hills with a MONA LISA painted on the barns side is still standing. Not sure of exact location, (Denton road maybe?) but those who might know of this barn in their area would know if it still exists. Back in the late 70′s we would drive around that area & when we drove along on this curved road, our vehicles headlights would hit the side of the barn & a GIANT portrait of an original Mona Lisa’s face appeared rising out of the ground, that was painted on the barn. So AWESOME, awe inspiring. This was a true work of art to see of gigantic proportions on an old barn & I haven’t seen it since, but searching for it on the internet. Any clues???

It takes me back to a time that almost stands still in time. It makes me happy that there are still farms and barns around.
