Fast Flowers (Digital Impasto)

I have been practicing using Painter 12's "digital impasto", and today decided to try again. Although I was happy with the results of my last attempt--Snow and Tree (Digital Impasto) posted Mar 22--I was frustrated with the process, which was very slow, and the approach (very small, tight brush strokes). So today I decided to paint flowers, go for big brush strokes, and give myself a time limit of 30 minutes (hence the title). Well, I actually worked on this for an hour, but I was still much happier with the process. These flowers could probably use some more work (maybe tomorrow or the next day), but they were fast enough. Maybe I am getting somewhere.
