CGAA ACT Speedpaint Challenge Round-up

This was a great chance to try new things in photoshop, and has improved my confidence to show my own work.  I've never tried anything abstract before.
My favourites - no 4, the first time I felt that if I drew something abstract I might like it!
No 3 which looks like a child's finger painting  - because I was helped by my grandaughter.
Nos 2 and 8 which work even though they are very simple.
And no 10 because it's pretty!
