Night interior

Creation date: 2017

'This is a view I see when I lie on my sofa at night. A round paper Japanese lamp on a small, round, French pear-wood table is reflected in the long window in the corner of the room, as are an identical lamp on a table behind me and the pictures on the wall. The reflection is basically a room within a room, seeing both inside and outside—the black bamboo in the garden is partly visible. After my husband Peter died, I would spend many a solitary night peering into the reflection as I lay with a glass of red wine, so I finally painted the vision.'

A dark chair with a red, brown and black cushion is in the lower right corner of the picture. Behind the chair is a brown circular table. The table contains a white paper lantern lamp, a glass vase holding green palm-like leafy branches and a blue and white bowl. The scene from inside is reflected on the window behind and the garden outside the window can also be seen partially through the glass.
