Why amazing? Everyone knows that elephants can use their snake as hands with great sense. And we all know that the can recall very good over years.
It would have been amazing, if the elephant whould have painted a picture which it would like or another elephant which it saw. But the elephant just copyed the picture which was shown him before and have been trained. Thats not amazing. Its damn fake to make money maybe. Nice it can strike the pen, but not really "real".

Well, maybe there were missunderstandings of my statement. I didnt think they paint worse and should copy a Van Gogh to impress. I meant, that its fine, that they can use a pen and draw "forms" which where trained them. I dont think they know what they are painting there. Im at least 100% shure, they really dont recognize any thing they painted. They just redone compareable pictures which were shown them and trained. They dont paint another elephant which they saw in past. And they dont paint flowers in a pot coz they want to paint a flower in a pot. They just copy coloured "forms" which were shown them and have been trained. Not more. And thats a lot less amazing if they would draw something which is somehow "real" for them, which they can understand. The paintings are just based on the elephants excellent mind to recall on things and the sense of their nose. And that, I knoe before. Thats the reason why I dont think its amazing. Thats all.. Maybe to show one of many proofs which you can see in the videos is shown below . An elephant painted exactly the same picture two times with some minor changes(A,B). That indicates, that it just copy some coloured forms which were trained to him. I dont agree with the thought, that it saw an elephant in exactly this position with a cheesy flower in his nose in this giant size. Well. If the two pictures are made by two different elephants, my theory is 100% proofed. If anyone dont agree, I will tell you 6 more proofs. ..... At least Im a riddlefan and like to check such somehow amazing things. I must say, that I was really amazed the first time I saw it. But after watching the other ones.. .. I feel like Ace Ventura [:D] )
