Mowing can be monotonous for artist Jon Huckeby,\u00a0says KNWA-TV in northwest Arkansas.\u00a0So he\u00a0has applied his talents\u00a0 his chores.<\/p>\n
The result: lawn art<\/em>.<\/p>\n “A Siloam Springs man has found a way to spice things up,” reports KNWA’s Tom Yazwinski. “Picasso is to painting as Jon Huckeby is to lawn mowing.<\/p>\n “Jon is an artist at DaySpring in Siloam Springs. One fall day, he decided to take his work home with him and do something artistic around the house.”<\/p>\n DaySpring is a Christian greeting card company.<\/p>\n Huckeby told Yazwinski:<\/p>\n “I think just on a whim I decided to carve the word ‘NOEL’ in the grass because I knew Christmas was coming. That’s when it start.<\/p>\n “It looked really good. The kids liked it. Neighbors got a kick out of it. So, I thought, I’m gonna keep doing that. That’s kind of fun.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n That was three years ago. To date, Jon has “lawnscaped” a number of designs.<\/p>\n “Right now he is being inspired by Mother Nature and the drought,” says Yazwinski. “For Jon, this takes the monotony out of mowing.”<\/p>\n “This is just something creative that makes mowing fun. Mowing is kind of hot and boring so this makes it worth doing.”<\/p>\n According to the TV station, Jon’s neighbor kids love\u00a0his lawnscaping so much they will sit and watch each time he has a new creation.<\/p>\n
