"Zebra" - Postcard

(Click on image to enlarge)

This week's Sunday Postcard Art challenge was "Zebra."

I went where my muse took me with this one, so the final result might seem a little unusual.

I'm also very nervous about a Winter Storm that's going to turn into an ice storm where I live. Depending on when the temperature plummets, there could also be a flash freeze. No matter what happens with the types of precipitation we get, the current forecast looks dire with regard to losing electricity with a Sunday into Monday overnight temperature of 4 F (-15.5 C).
