Because I Am Now Consumed With This...

The elephant painting has really hit my heart. Because I want to help (and because I want a painting for my house!) I have researched a little bit and found that you can also get paintings here - The Asian Elephant Art & Conservation Project and if you are concerned about how the funds this organization raises gets used, check here.

Here's the story -
Jaab, a vivacious 8 year old male elephant, paints beautiful floral art in Chiang Mai, Thailand. He loves to play with his elephant friends and seems to like everybody. This agreeable nature helped Jaab when he started learning to paint five years ago. Of course, the rewards of corn (his favorite food) also was a great motivator. With his art teacher, Khun Tossapol Petcharattanakool, and caretaker, Mr. Phad Singbut, Jaab is now creating realistic and abstract paintings. His style keeps progressing and he is one of the special elephants who really enjoys expressing himself through art vs. those who choose to eat their wooden paint brushes.

When Thailand cut back on logging, at least 3,000 domesticated elephants were no longer needed for hauling and these wonderful creatures are facing unprecedented survival challenges. Jaab's amazing art is being sold to help save the demising number of Asian elephants remaining on our planet and to protect them from people using them for illegal logging or begging for handouts on city streets. Proceeds are used to keep their native habitats as well as caretaker education, veterinarian care, and food for domesticated elephants.

Positive behavioral training techniques and non-toxic paints are used while Jaab explores his sense of style. One-of-a-kind pieces have an official stamp and comes with Jaab's picture and bio. Thank you for helping and saving these amazing and talented creatures.
