The five paintings you see here--which I consider a single work of art--were inspired by a tiny photograph encountered in the side margin of a book about the French Impressionists. "Laundresses in Paris, c. 1870" was the only description given.
From that simple inspiration, the brush quickly took over as I watched "Five Laundresses" emerge as a single work on five different canvases.
