Visions of 'Tuskany'

From Yahoo! News:


Eight elephants in northern Thailand have painted their way into the Guinness Book of World Records after an art lover living in the United States shelled out a jumbo 1.5 million baht (39,000 dollars) for their canvas creation -- the highest price ever paid for elephant art.
I really wish I could have found a better picture of what they were painting. I saw video of this on CNN, but it would appear their site hasn't uploaded it. It's actually a very nice landscape painting on a massive canvas. Whoever bought this painting just got themselves something very rare and very beautiful. Should make an interesting conversation piece when trying to impress all their other rich friends.
