Title
L E P I H Elle est paysage
Artist
David G Wilson
Medium
Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
L.E.P.I.H. For the title of this painting, I borrowed a page from Marcel Duchamp's version "LHOOQ". If one were to read the letters of my title in French, they would spell out "Elle est paysage" meaning "She is a landscape". which is what I was looking for in the Mona Lisa. Following Leonardo's suggestion that the artist who desires to enhance his faculties for creative invention should stare at a stain on the wall and therein he shall perceive whatever he wishes to see, I felt that I could find a landscape in the Mona Lisa because of Leonardo's predilection for landscape background for his portraits. A scutiny of the Mona Lisa gives the viewer the feeling that Leonardo carved her body out of the landscape. It would be presumptuous of me to say that that was his intentions, but I felt that it made for a very interesting painting if I could blend her image into the background landscape. I am still not satisfied that I have accomplished that goal fully, so I keep working at improving the image even if I have to execute 100 more with improvements each time. My passion for Leonardo's masterpiece is beyond measure.

Please do not feel that I am trying to push this sale on you. I am just fishing for someone who might appreciate my father's rendition.

I appreciate your extrapolation on your quest for finding more images in the famous Mona Lisa. U have really intrigued me with your innovative insights. I am not trying to push my sales, BUT, if you know of anyone interested in my Dad's rendition of Mona Lisa , pls. let me know. I have a perfectly rendered gicle'e which I am selling for five hundred dollars. It is pictured on my FAA site. Of course, I don't want to sell the one that my dad painted with oils on canvas. But the gicle'e is so well done- on canvas -mounted on a firm backing with wood supports in the back, that I could not keep from advertising it.. I had the gicle'e done at Hpt. Rds. Gicle'e in Grafton, Virginia by Christopher Scott. Christopher Scott is known in this area for high quality giclle's. Thanks for listening. anne-elizabeth whiteway in Smithfield, Virginia, USA
