Covering the Ugly Wall
An easy way to cover a hole in the wall is with a painting, which is why an Indiana man bought a beautiful painting for $30 to hide that hole. One day, he was playing a board game based on art auctions and realized that one of the cards had his painting on it. He rushed to get his painting appraised and discovered it was the Magnolias on Gold Velvet Cloth” by Martin Johnson Heade. That piece of art was worth $1.2 million!
