This next incident happened at Indiana. A man was looking for a painting to help cover a hole that had been made on his wall at home. He found a painting that he thought would be the perfect cover up for his damaged wall. After finding this painting that he bought for just $30, he was super excited to take it home. He made a shocking discovery while he was playing a card game that consisted of famous painters and their work. He realized that the painting he had recently got was actually a work of art done by Martin Johnson Heade who is a renowned American still-life painter. He could sell the painting for over $1.2 million. That is not so bad for a painting worth $30 right? Sometimes we often find that the most valuable things in life are actually hiding in plain sight and we just need to be a little more curious.
