I took the 10 minute challenge again and painted a 14 green and white pool ball. You set your timer and paint for 10 minutes and stop. It is very challenging and you learn a lot. I am offering the  3 5"x5" paintings here.

The painting was done from photos of a local park here. There are 5 bridges in the park and I have done 2 of them so far.

I found this big oak tree in Louisiana one day. It was so massive and the limbs touched the ground and grew from where they had landed. I took several photos and finally painted the Big Oak.  I do hope I have done it justice.
