10 minute painting exercises

I'm still collecting plein air equipment.  I have the box, but sent back an easel that came damaged.  Trying to figure out what I want to do.  These pictures are from our perennial gardens last year.  Soon they will be in full bloom again and I can paint from them outside.  I'm challenging myself to do some 10 minute studies...but I confess, these both took from 20-30 minutes each.
