Description: |
Jab, a vivacious 8 year old male elephant, painted his beautiful floral art in Thailand. He loves to play with his elephant friends and seems to like everybody. This agreeable nature helped Jab 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, Jab 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. Jab'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 as Jab and his trainer collaborate to create this unique art. Your one-of-a-kind piece has an official stamp, is copyrighted, and comes with Jab 's picture and bio. Thank you for helping to save these amazing and talented creatures.
