Patti and Kim... On Display!

Recently, our beloved mother/daughter painting dynamo's, Patti and Kim, each had a painting selected for inclusion in Tri-State Arts Association Exhibition at the Huntington Museum of Art.

The show features artists from the Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky Tri-State area. If you're in the area stop in... the pieces will be on display until September 10.

In a twist of fate, the two paintings were hung one directly over the other. The museum staff had no idea that Patti and Kim were related when the locations were selected.

Apparently the museum wanted each item offered for sale. Kim told me that neither she nor her mother wanted to part with these pieces. So they were priced higher than they thought anyone would pay.

Patti's sold before the show officially opened.

We'll have to wait to see if Kim's has to part with her painting.

If it does... I think they should take us all to lunch. Don't you?
