I'm a HUGE fan of elephants. They are beautiful creatures. They are family (and friend) oriented. They are smart. It SO saddens me that they are allowing them to be hunted once again. I'm devastated that they are still used in circuses.

So, it is with some hesitation that I post this amazing video. I wonder--was this elephant rescued? Or was she kidnapped from her home, taken from her friends and family? Did she learn to paint on her own? Or was she 'trained?'

The video doesn't offer answers to any of these questions. But check out her beautiful artwork. I would LOVE to have this on my wall!
