Hillside Mona Lisa artist works on 'tasteful nude'

Artist Samuel Clemens is at it again.

The hillside artist that brought traffic to a standstill along Highway 20 near Newport last summer with his reproduction of the Mona Lisa on a grassy slope is working on a new masterpiece.

Tasteful nude

This time, it’s a reclining nude based on a drawing he made of his wife when they first met. She was a model.

So far, the head, shoulders and one arm are visible in the finished section, measuring 60 by 40 feet. He is working now to complete another 100 feet.

With video and slideshow.
