A Painting by Somjai - September 2007

While I was in Thailand, I had the opportunity to watch elephants paint pictures. At the end of the show, I purchased one and brought it home. Finally, I was able to get it framed. Here is the painting that Somjai, a 15 year old elephant painted in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

The paper used for this painting has great texture, as it is made out of elephant dung!
Now we have to find a place to hang it!!

Here is a clip of one of the elephants painting!

Check out my blog posts from Sept. and Oct. to see more pictures of my Thailand trip.

God willing, I will be going back in June! (Yipee!)

The painting looks great! I love the frame you chose for it. I'd love to check out that paper up close... I love elephants. They are smarties.
