That was so fun. The elephant started out so carefully and then got into the creative spirit for sure. Love the touch with the water. Lol. Great share, Sally.

    Exactly, Sally. The elephants that paint looked healthier than the other working elephants we saw in Bangkok. 😍

Hong was clearly enjoying him(her) self, which is the important point. And as abstract art goes, it’s pretty good!

It looks like they are smiling and fully understand their skills. Maybe we should also test the same with CEO’s of the big business or similar institutions. 😉 Thanks for sharing, Sally! Enjoy a good Saturday morning! I hope to be back in time! xx Michael

    I would love to see for myself.. Miriam Hurdle has seen a group of them on her travels and at least as a tourist attraction they are treated much better than some and she said they genuinely seemed to be enjoying showing off their skills and producing recognisable paintings.. amazing..xx
