The Painting Elephant






This is pretty remarkable. I've heard of elephants who paint before, but I've never seen one create portraits of other elephants! My favorite part? When the artist/elephant is critiquing the paintings at the end.

I wish I could paint... I can draw good, but not paint. I've done some good drawings of Kiki and Ananka.

I paint Abstract art. I do pretty good at it. But drawing normal things like landscapes and flowers and people and normal things are pretty hard.
