An Onalaska artist and teacher won big at a competition, bringing home a $20,000 check.
Lori Ehlke is an art teacher.
She entered in the second annual ART 64 tournament in Wauwatosa.
ART 64 is a bracket-style competition, where artists have an hour to create their masterpieces.
Ehlke's acrylic painting of a sailboat got the most public votes, winning her the grand prize.
She says she took a photo of the boat when she was pregnant with twins, thinking it would make a great painting someday.
Ehlke has four kids, who are hoping she spends the cash on "candy, a swimming pool, a puppy, a guinea pig, and more," but she says she's leaning towards getting a nice sunroom studio built.
