The Nine Elements of Comfort paintings
What would you like to have in your comfortable room? I invite you to choose one of these paintings to come and linger in a comfortable interior. Inside during the pandemic, I thought about the different things that create a feeling of comfort. I came up with nine essentials. I began painting The Nine Elements of Comfort 8"x8" oil paintings in May, 2021. They were exhibited in the Mayne Island Fall 2021 Studio Tour. And I keep painting more!

These are imagined interiors, each one containing my nine essentials: a comfy chair, side table, pillow, art, books, carpet, cup, flowers, lamp/window/fireplace. In a room, a chair is a necessity and ideally it is a beautiful and comfortable chair.

Art is a necessity in a room and each room has at least one artwork. For fun, I painted a recognizable piece of art in each room. Can you identify the art in these tiny web images? If you like the knock-off, and you are unfamiliar with it, ask me: julieemerson(at)telus.net

Historically, paintings of interiors have been documentation or representation of light and pattern, but my intention is to paint a space that the viewer will want to step into.

Sometimes I want the room to refer to more than one artist's work. In this painting, the screen is inspired by Vincent Van Gogh, and the painting is inspired by John Singer Sargent, and the curvy stool is inspired by Frank Gehry.
