Feb. contest related: To the velveteen ocelot: you will be surprised

This is a painting I have in my bedroom, to see when I sit in bed and read. Painted by my friend Lea Lackey Zachmann who is an art teacher at High Point University.
I could not afford to buy it, so I asked to be allowed to hang it.
Now you can imagine how much I like your entry, and how startling it was to see it.

To all you who read this:
go look at the entry by velveteen ocelot in the February contest submissions, and if you possibly can, enter a photograph yourself.







Here are some more of her works.
