Great to see she's still working. An artist I follow on YT says "It's all about the reps."
One money saving trick is to buy white canvas at a fabric store (can even get remnants), tape them to a board or cardboard and prime them yourself. House primer is fine (and cheap). It can save you from the wooden canvas expense.
There's also paper made for oil painting. Here's one type:

You can also get smaller canvases and canvas panels at Dollar Tree.
Not that I'm cheap or anything.

New art piece she slapped together today.
I feel like she is rough on parts but still amazes me what is accomplished. She took the picture, so apologies for the crooked orientation
Seriously great work
If she keeps at it, she better put some prints and/or originals for sale on Etsy or such, I'd absolutely put up some $ for one or more!

"FRUGAL: making "cheap" look dignified since 1967."
Thanks for the laugh!
