A painting panda is creating abstract artwork — and you can buy it

Yang Yang is the Picasso of the panda world, and her works of art are now on sale.

The 18-year-old panda, who lives at the Schoenbrunn Zoo in Vienna, has a knack for painting. Yang Yang uses a special brush to dab black finger paint onto white paper, and the look of each painting depends on her mood at the time. It's a collaborative effort, as a zookeeper holds the artist's paper for her.

Yang Yang has created at least 100 pieces, all of which are being sold online for about $560 each. All of the money raised will be used to create a picture book about the Schoenbrunn Zoo's pandas. Catherine Garcia
