The mind journey from the quotation to the painting?
Well, I went from "she put it on like a costume" to thinking "she put it on like a mask". From there I just started painting masked faces.

Every year she put it on like a costume,
Sitting on a stool in front of a mirror.....
From: Christmas Eve My Mother Dressing by Toi Derricotte
