10 mins paintings - a break away

After being disappointed with the serious paintings done on Oct 2, I decided to try doing quick paintings.  This also allows me to keep painting during weekdays.  Afterall, it's not all that possible to paint seriously even during weekends anyway! 
Here are some of the works.  Although not sophisticating, I am rather happy with them because they are not too bad considering they are quick paintings, and not a bad start either!  Also, they allowed me to enjoy the moments even during week days. 

this one actually took more than 10 mins,around 1 hr.

                                          all W&N watercolor, 140lb CP paper, associated sizes.

BTW, all were painted freehand without sketches except the birds.
