This Is Way Cool

Last week, Skyler's Dad had a post about a really cool piece of artwork, a portrait of Da Vinci done with nails.

Yesterday morning, as I walked into the classroom building of Truman College, where I'm taking prerequisites for their nursing program, I glanced up at the large portrait of Harry Truman that graces the lobby of the building. I must have been more awake or observant than other days, because I realized for the first time, after walking by the thing probably a couple of hundred times, that it's done in nails and staples.








It was created by Mikhail Onanov, an art instructor at the school.

That is quite amazing! I wish I had some sort of artistic talent.

Funny the things we don't notice, and then suddenly do...

If I drink coffee in the morning I am usually observant....if I do not have my coffee nothing gets noticed by me.........it amazes me how the creative mind can see what ordinary minds can not.....
