“Nude in the Bath,” by Laurel Peterson

Peterson creates a fully-formed backstory for the subject of this Pierre Bonnard painting–a woman who has it all, but still wants more.

“A Note to Henri from His Wife,” by Cyndi MacMillan

MacMillan responds to Matisse’s The Pink Studio through a note of artistic advice (or is it a warning?) from his wife.
