A Well Pressed Shirt

I went into the drycleaning business and was completely enthralled by the man working in the back (who turned out to be the business owner) – the way the steam interacted with the clothes and the man. I asked if it would be OK if I took photos to paint from, and he was so gracious and invited me into the back. Oh, that steam! And he’s lovely, too.
