Pachyderm painting sells for nearly 39-thousand dollars in Thailand

BANGKOK, Thailand It's a case of elephants helping elephants in Thailand
where an abstract painting by eight pachyderms has sold for nearly
39-thousand dollars.

A news report says the proceeds will help maintain an elephant sanctuary,
said Sunday.

Wielding brushes with their trunks, the elephants painted a roughly
eight-by-26-foot canvas in five hours yesterday, with some help from their
trainers and two human artists.

The pachyderms at the camp in a northern province worked in shifts of two
and three at a time to paint. The state-run Thai News Agency reports the
work is titled, "Cold Wing, Swirling Mist, Charming Lanna 1."

The event was witnessed by a representative of the Guinness Book of
Records. Organizers claim it's "the most expensive painting by a group of
elephants." A thai national living in the United States bought it.

I expect that he owns a big house on a big piece of land, has his own
business (All in his own name of course) and enjoys all the great
things that America has to offer. Well! we here in LOS can dream.

chance to get there earlier ;-)))

300 years ago, chinamen settled in "gold mountain" i.e. san francisco
now sf "belongs" to chinamen because everywhere you go, you must eat
chinese ;-)))

>> Well! we here in LOS can dream.

wheels.
