You have to watch this...
I have no words...it's amazing.
They state on the website that the elephant is trained on the strokes, but it is made by the elephant. I still think that's pretty cool. This is a big thing in the world of zoos, animal sanctuary's, and the like. I think it's a great way to raise money to care for the animals. Here is the website for this particular elephant:

I'm also a big fan of, Koko, the gorilla whom learned sign language. There is a great book about her that I adored as a kid. She has her own website on the Gorilla Foundation. The gorilla she grew up with, Michael, has some art on there, but their story is amazing...I highly recommend you check it out here:

I hope you'll check out these amazing and inspiring animals. I think they are beautiful! Maybe I'll even ask Brian to get me a painting for my birthday.
