The challenge and thrill of 20 minute paintings

I confess.I am addicted to making 20 minute paintings right now and there is nothing anyone can do about it..I found a setting/app on my phone to use as a stopwatch/alarm and  away I go. ..The difficult part is letting go..finding comfort in the end result even if it feels unfinished.i am staying true to the challenge however..and I find that a new style is evolving-which is very exciting indeed!
