Sounds like you're having a great time and getting narrative ideas; especially if you're seeing paint everywhere. Marc's right, the yellow couches are satisfying thick and tactile. Interesting to see the other students' excellent work and that Glen's painting had an sfnal title.

From what I can see in the one shot, they're really nice. I like your couches a lot. The yellow does something to my brain. You must convince Sylvia to let you put up photos of her paintings.

I loves me some Thiebaud. All that thick, crusty impasto, like a painting made of cake frosting. Which I guess is the whole point, in his case. I also have those kind of synaesthesiac experiences when I'm painting. When I'm working on one of those 12-foot mothers, I can think of hardly anything else, and everything somehow translates into that process. My brain starts to break everything down into color formulas and hunks of light. Painting and writing are real magic; making something from nothing. It's fun to be a wizard sometimes.
