Even though the Slotin auction is going on today, and I promised myself to stay away from the flame, art still found me. Susan, Tina, and Nancy, (last names omitted to protect the innocent) members of the folk art group "The Art Tarts", came by my house for a tour. They left an ark in their wake.

It was a great afternoon of art, wine, and stories of art adventures. Tina brought her Virgil Myers ark, complete with 70 pairs of animals, Mr. & Mrs. Noah, and the blue ribbon from Wayne City Bean Days, where this art/ark won first place.

Today, the ark docked here, and I won the prize.

(ok, I bought it...)
