I really like to race myself, it forces me to make split second decisions, try it if you dare!~ it's very useful and scary

I like the fleshy colors and where you placed them. Speed painting is a great activity. I used to speed paint in college and it really does force you to use good color selection and helps you develop your color comp. skills.

That's a good painting!
