Well...I had such high hopes for my red pieces this week in the summer of colour challenge...I had planned a skirt to wear over black tights and a modern piece of art...feeling a bit under the weather with flu left me uninspired and no motivation to do anything...
So, knowing that I was taking the kids to see Harry Potter at the movies today I thought I have no other chance to do my red piece so I whiopped out this $7 white frame, sized the paper inside, tore a very thin and not great piece from one of the kids cheap journals and began to draw....
Out came a very small vase filled wioth flowers, I spent about one minute drawing that, then began to spray a few colours around using my water colour wax crayons....I remembered I had a cheap set of oil paints in my cupboard so a few splashes of that around and there you have it...i think I'll call it love, because red roses symbolise love, and of course my beloved turquoise...lol...
its only small...I am guessing 5 by 5 inches, but I actually am happy with it, I have never used oils before nor have I ever painted anything like this...as I said, for ten minutes work, I actuallu am happy with it and will put it on my wall of art when I get to paintng the room!!!
Thanks agin to Kristin for the wonderful inspiration and to all who visit me, I certainly don't say this lightly but I greatly appreciate every visit and it certainly lifts the spirit.
Now I can't wait to visit every one's red pieces.
Until next time
lots of it

Wow! I wish I could splash around my paint like this. All I get is a mess. :) Gorgeous piece!
Gosh wish I could make a beautiful piece of red artwork in 10mins!! Great!!
WOW! ten minutes work and you have an awesome picture. I am in awe and wonder if the less time makes you do and not think and over produce and just do. I may need to try a time limit and see what I come up with!
That's some beautiful art for only 10 min!! I love the pop of color in the vase!
I hope you are feeling better! Wasn't Harry Potter FANTASTIC! Love this little painting. I haven't used oils before either.

Fantastic Red! And the fact is was done in so short of a time is amazing! Hugs,Tee
I always find my best art comes out when I'm not really trying too! This is fab. The frame really lifts it to something truly special. Love it.
don't you love it when art is just there...at the ends of your fingers. Like this a lot!
Stop it with your 10 minutes!! LOL - it is amazing! Really, really beautiful. And it does look like an oil painting - how cool that you incorporated them - something that I have yet to do too . . . great inspiration here . . . You are too fab, xo
Wow, an amazing painting and just 10 minutes!.. You have a natural talent!
Seriously, 10 minutes?! What a beautiful creation! I love the little blue vase holding the flowers :) So so pretty!
I hope you're feeling better soon!xo Joanna
Wow! For just "whipping" this together you did wonderful. A darling piece:)
Quick but well done!!!!
An exquisite miniature... looks great in the white frame. Amazing what happens when you don't think too hard.
I always like coming to see what you have created each week. It is great...and for 10 mins... I usually sit and stare at my canvas for 10 minutes, lol. Love it! And, everything looks good in turquoise! :)
hiya hun

Hi Mandy what a great piece I love those colours together they work so well!! I've been dabbling in oils too, and really enjoy using them as I find the colours so bright and vibrant!! Lovely work! In answer to your question yes I shrink my image down and just print it onto photo paper. Bright bold images work really well as small pendant pieces :0)
I love it. I can't believe you whipped this up in ten minutes. I agree with everyone that sometimes you just have to freestyle and not over think. Beautiful things can happen like this wonderful piece.
It's great!!!Love the heavy shine on the planter, the whole thing is very pretty! :)

Mandy, I must say this is very impressive for 10 minutes. Besides digital I also do oils and have to tell you, I think you should definitely keep this up. Your piece is absolutely great.

10 minutes huh? Well that's pretty darn great for any investment of time - charming, cheerful, colorful, and beautiful in the frame. Everything looks great when framed!
This is so lovely, bright and compact. Love it!
Referring to your comment on my blog post of my vintage pattern collection, yes, Mandy, I guess you could say that I'm a bit addicted to collecting vintage sewing patterns.
WOW 10 minutes, this is amazing. You are so talented.
Isn't it amazing the magic of that large matte? It does something.. makes you look differently at the piece.. gives it power....
Thanks so muc for your sweet words.. You touched by heart.
Take care ♥
You are a talented lady. I love the flowers in the vase. I also love the background. Very cool.
Pretty! That's amazing it only took ten minutes from start to finish.
Wow Mandy... this is awesome... LOVE your beautiful painting... and in only ten minutes... how fabulous...
Hope you are feeling better...
