Hong the Painter

ONG'S BIO: At six years old, Hong has a very curious nature. She loves to investigate everything and once managed to use her trunk to open the door of a truck. This kind of curiosity made Hong a natural candidate for artistic instruction. Two years ago, Hong began painting with her mahout, Noi Rakchang, and has steadily developed her skills. After learning how to paint flowers, she moved on to more advanced paintings. She now has two specialties. One is an elephant holding flowers with her trunk, and the other is the Thai flag. An elephant with so much control and dexterity is capable of amazing work. Just for clarification, with these realistic figural works, the elephant is still the only one making the marks on the paper but the paintings are learned series of brushstrokes not Hong painting a still life on her own.

My display at this weekend's Country Fair

A picture (courtesy of my hubby) of my entire display at the Eagleswood County Fair this past weekend (Eagleswood, NJ).

Etched, upcycled container.

This is a cut off wine bottle that's been buffed so that the edges are smooth and safe. Then, I etched in letters. I need to work on details, but it's a pretty good attempt for a first shot! I'll have to consider whether I want to list it or not, now.
