Happy Cactus Monday!
This piece is done within 20 minutes...to be exact, 15 minutes...but it hasn't come the way I wanted it :(
I saw about 20 mins challenge in Teri's blog and wanted to try it...so here it goes.
I am not an official member though.
You could visit Kathrine Cartwright to see more of 20 minutes paintings.
Some of my friends' have a query...why am I so attached to cactus?
Lakshmi and others who feel the same...its just that I am doing it along with my cactus monday group who post pictures, sketches, drawings and anything pertaining to cactus on Mondays whose chief is Teri. If anyone is interested do join us. You can see the link on the rightside of my blog.
For more cactus pictures, visit Teri.
This came all of a sudden and I am so HAPPY.... After all its an Award...!!!
Thanks a lot Shruti for these two inspiring, morale boosting Awards...
I would inturn request all my followers, commentors, promoters, passers-by and each and everyone who drop here to inspire me, to take this Award along with them.
Have a Gala Week!

@Ebie, welcome once again. Its among foliage Ebie...ofcourse your photo is no less than a painting:)
@Hey Kriti, Welcome bac dear! Wonderful to hear from you after a long time... Thanks dear:)
@Julie, Thanks dear one! I actually hated the background when I first dabbed some color, then I refined it a bit and I felt 'Its ok now!'
@Madhu, Thanks dear! Thanks for dropping by. Do keep revisiting:)
@Marianne, Thanks a lot. I am glad you like the colors.
No, its not an ATC. Its painted on A5 size Acrylic paper.
@MRC, Its acrylic paint. The effect is really good.
@Margaret, Thanks a ton! From you, this is a gr8 compliment!
Wow, you did a great job on this Deepa!! I think you should put it in the 20 min.challenge. You only have as many as you want but it does get kind of addicting to try a painting in 20 minutes and the results are always so fun.
Thanks for the plug. I guess us cactus people are just fun for wanting to honor a cactus. lol
HCM!
Hi Deepa, what a wonderful cactus. I always enjoy your work and 20 minutes? Wow! Very good! I would love to take one of the awards you received. Thanks Deepaz. Have a great day.
Simply gorgeous! Love the colors. Happy Cactus Monday!
Twenty minutes??? I wish I could do ANYrhing in 20 minutes! Cactus is one of my favorites, too. Very lovely...well done!
This is so nice! I love the colors, and the fluid background. Isn't it funny how easily we tend not to like our own work as much as others do? I think it's great! :)
HCM!
painting in 20 min!...i couldn't in a million!...great hand Deepa...love your art
Happy Cactus Monday. Great piece in 15 mins.
i think you did a fantastic job in such a short time, well done. and thanks for the award, i think i will steal it. (we used to have so many awards floating around months ago, but now no one seems to want them lol). hcm -on tuesday dear one.
Deepa you are such an inspiration!
Beautiful colors, and I think I might go in late just to try the
20 mins sketch idea myself!
I haven't done anything creative in months! Maybe that's why life is so dreary!
Thanks for being there!
Love C

Happy Cactus to you too

Oh wow!!! These are absolutely beautiful and that quick???? Lovely, some of your best.
How could I miss this.
Another charming piece that I adore!
Hey Deepu! U know, just by the very sight of the cactus, was abt to ask u about ur obsession of the cactus that I found ur own reply to others' query abt the same.. :) It's beautiful, I just was curious to know...Also, all the answers given by u in the previous post speaks volumes abt u, some changes in perspectives, tastes etc., with the advent of years... I can always see the sheer passion for blogging, blog friends, and the level it takes you to in ur pursuit of art and everything related to it...Great going, dear..
Seriously, 20 minutes??? No, wait. FIFTEEN!!??? Holy moly, that's fantastic! I couldn't do that in a few hours!
And YAY for the great awards! Well deserved!
