Wow,

I am turning green with envy, you lucky devils!

Every piece looks powerful and dynamic. I would love it if you would share with us each step you went through.

Did you initially block in mass shapes, ending up with something close to a rough modelled clay clump, or was it more refined?

As the form developed did you apply the short brushstrokes by stepping back several steps, locating the hue you needed and then attacking the canvas?

Please explain from start to finish what you were told to do. I think I would have had a heart attack the very first day, this is so unlike what I am used to doing, but it looks like such a liberating way of painting.

My hat off to you Beth, I know your jitters and your work seems to have matured in leaps and bounds!
