Here are some of them These are all on the cheap 10" frames that I got from Joann's.  The one below is on a canvas that I made. I think I prefer my canvases overall. I buy the duck cloth from Joann's also. I love going in the store. Everyone is so nice that works there. To add insult to injury about the butterfly pic on the flower, the paint peeled when I was trying to cover it and using a ...
