At the art club meeting Aunt Bee gestures to two paintings behind the dais, referring to them as "watercolors, which is my field." However, they could not possibly be hers as they are highly skilled, and finely executed renderings. They also appear to be oil paintings rather than true watercolors.
The size of Otis' pastoral mosaic would contain several thousand pieces. The hardware store of a small town would be hard-pressed to have a supply that large.
Andy decides to remove Otis's painting from above his fireplace mantle just as he and Aunt Bee prepare to leave the house for the art show meeting and Otis's speech.
It's curious that Andy, known for his structured thinking, would remove the painting even though only Opie--indifferent to the painting's quality--would be in the house while they were out. The rash move seems out of character for Andy.

As Andy and Bee are leaving home for the evening art class, Francis accidentally says "Bye, Andy" to Opie as she reaches for the door knob. The closed captioning says "bye, Aunt Bee."
