Man Shovels Snow to Sculpt 'Snowna Lisa' in Toronto Backyard

A Toronto resident turned the snow in his backyard into a piece of art. Robert Greenfield filmed this video in which he recreates Mona Lisa in the thin coating of powder over ice. In homage to da Vinci's masterpiece, Greenfield named his own work the "Snowna Lisa" when he posted the video on his https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugBKAkyOuIg YouTube Channel on February 12, 2019. Greenfield told Storyful that the art was created on a skating rink that he built for use each winter, and that it took him three attempts at creating the masterpiece. "The first try was horrible and it looked like an alien. The second try was better but it looked like William Shakespeare," he said. After an hour and a half on the third try, Greenfield was happy with the result — and posted his work online. However, the art only lasted for a day as the "wind and snow the next morning covered it up," Greenfield added. (Footage By Robert Greenfield/Storyful via Getty Images)
