Interesting life and art, on good sources, offline source accepted AGF. I don't like the original hook, only giving relation. How about the other way round:

ALT2:... that Bessie Smith's "Backwater Blues" inspired Rose Piper to create in 1946 the painting Back Water? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:16, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Works for me. Thanks for reviewing. Rosekelleher (talk) 21:27, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi; I'd like to focus more on the the retired and spent 40 odd years working in fashion route. The above seems bland, with a career gap sized elephant in the room. Ceoil (talk) 01:24, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

ALT2:... that American painter Rose Piper found early success as a Blues inspired artist in the 1940s, but retired from visual art until her reemergance in the 1980s?

That's interesting but is focused on what she did not. I prefer to be specific about the inspiration by composition, which I find unusual in her work. - Fixed grammar by returning to your first version ;) - I propose to hold this for March, women's history, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:23, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: I noticed this has been moved to black history month (February) holding area. I'm not sure if this was your intention? I can move it to March, as I'm not sure on the rationale behind it being moved to February (obviously other than the subject is black). It may be possible to post it at 7pm eastern time on 29 February until 7am eastern time on 1 March to kill two birds with one stone! Jolly Ω Janner 04:48, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
