Your introduction is thorough and effectively paced, but I disagree that the primary theme of this text or this passage is related to gender roles. Although gender plays a minor role in this text, I would stress that issues relating to power, social class, art and the artist are at the forefront of this story. You provide some good analysis, and have a strong sense of Munro as writer, but could achieve greater accuracy and greater precision with a clearer sense of theme and by identifying literary features such as the simile in this passage. Overall, this is a good commentary and you express yourself with confidence.
