Adrian,
I see it as "a poem... for a well-known painting of your choice" can be written by anybody, rather than "What seems to be called for is a poem the artist has attached to the poem" (I think you meant attached to the painting).
But there's nothing wrong with the Whistler idea.

Cross-posted with Walter. No, ekphrastic isn't necessarily what they're after (as I see it) though it could fit the rubric, I suppose.
