Wonderful. Ambitious indeed, but if she loves it, what fun for her! I bet when you guys go out for an evening the perfume she wears is 'Eau de Turps. (Holy mackerel, I looked that fanciful name up and people are actually already using it. I won't give them credit though since I came up with it independently. . . as no doubt has any oil painter with even minimal sense of smell.)
Well, I for one am envious. I bet she is going to get amazingly good after a year. I wonder if her work on the first days will resemble the work she puts out on Day 365. I can't imagine that there won't be at least some evolution with that level of concentrated work.
Go lassie go!
She does wear disposable rubber gloves when she paints I hope. That much turpentine soaking into the skin is not so healthy I've seen and heard from lots of oil painters.
