ARTY ELEPHANTS
EXTRAORDINARY elephants create beautiful paintings in Thailand. The world’s most artistic Asian elephants use their trunks, feet and their very own brushes to paint their very own masterpieces. The fascinating display was captured by 48-year-old French photographer, Olivier Blaise on a two week trip to Maesa Elephant Camp in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Olivier says: “Around 13 years ago, painting was introduced to elephant sanctuaries to help raise money for their babies, with Maesa camp being the first.
