I do hope you continue this once lockdown has finished, even if it’s just one a week. This series would be a highlight of the day even if life were back to usual. Thank you.
Just when the four walls were drawing close, your delicious film on Vanessa Bell with that beautiful Italian landscape brightened the room. An invigorating breath of fresh air. Thank you again, and again.
I love this painting. I think it would be lovely on a stone wall next to a bowl of lemons and a pot of lemon thyme. Thank you I so enjoy these episodes.
thank you from western Canada for this daily respite from our interesting isolation. I am enjoying the views - of your art collection, and of your wonderful buildings and the land they sit in.
I love any information i can get on the ‘Bloomsbury Group’ especially the farmhouse they lived in. Vanessa’s painting is full of understated brilliance, thank you Phillip so much for all your programs these are very special, and thank you to Oliver too!
I do not know anything about Vanessa or the Bloomsbury group, but when you were describing the painting -- sunlight, swallows, her chasing away all the shadows -- I imagined her painting this very painting, outside, quickly and radiantly smiling -- almost laughing with joy at her good fortune to be there, painting that view. I don't know, strange, but it was a clear image in my mind. Thank you and your son again.
Fantastic painting and the artist was previously unknown to me, thank you once again for a very interesting and informative video! Your narrative is so captivating! I’m sure you will find the perfect location for that wonderful piece.
Love how you start outside and then enter the house. Huge fan of Oliver! You really made the best out of isolation. And isn't it great that people can enjoy it for years and years to come
I visited Charleston and Monk's House on two blustery June days last year. Both very beautiful places in different ways. Virginia and Vanessa were from very privileged backgrounds as many successful artists are, but they lived their lives true to their vision and their art, and I really admire them for that.
I only recently found these wonderful films so I'm desperately trying to catch up and see the ones in between,these films are so enjoyable,thank you for making them.
Just found your Art in Isolation series over the weekend and watched all the previous episodes. Thank you so much for this bit of art and culture and beauty in a world that seems so dark and fearful. We are enjoying a beautiful spring here in The San Francisco Bay Area, so your garden and the landscape surrounding it seem very familiar. Thank you for the joy you share with your art collection!
Dear Philip and Oliver, Thank you so much for your fascinating and uplifting series. My mum (an artist in isolation) and I enjoy discussing the art and artists you present, many of whom are new to us. I work as an Intensive Care nurse and I save your videos to watch on my night duty breaks. They provide a few wonderful and precious minutes of escapism from the challenges we are facing at work. Thankyou again. Sarah and her mum Fran.
What a great choice. I love the Bloomsbury painters and was lucky enough to meet Frances Partridge, then in her nineties, the last survivor of the circle. I loved the quote from Virginia Woolf, whose prose is so perfect.
So beautiful painted.Bright colours and in the same time pastels,soft touches with brushes.I recognised place straight away,because lived there.You looked tired,I hope everything is ok.
For my eye, though I enjoyed all the previous images, Vanessa Bell's image is the best painted. The others arrive at their stature--my prejudice showing-- through loveable idiosyncrasies of some kind, while she gets to her image goal with masterful ease. Thank you for that insightful Virginia perception of artistic Vanessa.
Thank you! The series has become a bright spot in isolation. And I absolutely LOVE the Bloomsbury group. I love reading about them! Looking forward to more!
Enjoyed this video ! As you were talking about this painting and and the sisters I thought about my sister . She briefly spent time painting . Her second and last painting was of a boy in a top hat and green jacket . She painted him from a picture in a National Geographic Magazine. We have the picture iis in our living room. Despite my encouragement and sending painting supplies she did not continue painting. She is such a sweet gentle soul.
Vanessa's sky was multicolored the way light is. I am glad you pointed out the light in her painting. I had painted a bedroom in colors too bright. I wanted to cool down the combo so I painted light blue over the goldenrod yellow textured ceiling and sponged or ragged some off. The result was spectacular as the yellow shone thru in places and made the ceiling feel like light, a day sky.
Yes, it works. The brush strokes are lovely, loose, consistent, astute, and have a unified texture. The color saturation is uniform and pleasing, and as you said, the use of complementary colors is so well done. I love how she painted the sky and melts the blush color across the roof tops. The light hues in combination with the vertical brush strokes give this painting height and excitement, especially with the prevalence of the bell towers. This is exactly the feel of Italy. Beautiful, beautiful...beautiful piece. And wasn't she beautiful, as well. High artistic intelligence obviously ran in that family. Well done Vanessa and dear Virginia.
Uplifting painting in dreary times and now sadly lack of sunlight here coming across! It so charges the soul with it ‘ s gloriousperspective of sunny places in sunnier times Thank you. Tessa Morgan
Thank you and Oliver so much for letting us look at your wonderful paintings in your beautiful house, what a joy the journey has been, please don't stop.
Greetings from Delaware, USA! Many thanks for sharing your knowledge, passion, home, and beautiful collection with the world. For me, our daily visits are not only a long overdue education in the visual arts, but one of the assured bright spots of the day. It seems greedy to ask, but might you consider teaching a virtual course in art history - your diction is so much better than Sister Wendy ;-) ?
Just discovered this series Philip. Thanks so much for your enthusiasm and knowledge! One knows about the Group of course, but here I am finding out more ! Greetings from Canada, gordon phinn
The only time you have very short shadows is a sunny high noon day...I like the brush strokes of impressions of grapevine trees on the foreground...very nice pick up Phillip. Thanks again guys.
A lesson in art, love, passion and wonderful simplicity. Being so generous of your personal time, so very enthusiastic and filled with intelligent remarks about the painters, the colours, the art of interesting human souls makes me feel extremely proud of loving art so much. It is the essence of my life and you have made it even more enriching. Thank you Philip, a moment of pure happiness. Regards , Albert N Lebeuf Montréal, Canada
Sandy in the Antipodes Thank you Oliver for this beautifully filmed episode. I particularly appreciated the lingering look at the painting toward the end. It is really hard to believe that Philip is not a painter - I have so enjoyed his notes on colour and brushwork and how and why they are used - he must be a reincarnated old master!!!!
Just a suggestion for Oliver in his camera movements, which has so greatly improved since the first show, he comes off as a real pro and doesn't make the viewer sea sick. When he's trying to show brush stokes on a canvas it would be helpful if he would take a pause and allow the viewer to get a less blurry look. For instance when Philip is speaking about the foliage along the bottom of Vanessa Bell's painting, he pans maybe a little too quickly but doesn't stop even when you pause the screen image is blurry. I am sure it's challenging to show three works in one episode, but just for a second. Awesome work Oliver!
my favourite episode so far! (amongst other favourites :)) -thank you for sharing this painting by Vanessa Bell --I look forward to tomorrow's Duncan Grant !
You'll never know how lovely it is to see such beautiful English countryside, hear your deep and thoughtful aspects on your collection of diverse paintings from the lock down sandy bling of Dubai. One question: What about prints? Do you have any in your collection and what do you think of them in general - a broad question yet I would be very interested to hear your views. Particularly, which subjects would you recommend to collect and from what period (for the average person). Thank you Philip and Oliver -for Art in Isolation, such a great idea.
I would be curious to know about how u came upon the painting, when u bought it and its provenance. If its an interesting story please do tell us. Another fantastic painting, I’m leaning so much from your short video especially the depth of talent that we rarely ever hear about, focus is almost always on the big names...Picasso, Monet and the like.
Your films do such a great job for English art/countryside. Before anyone leans over to be "offended" anyone of any nationality who adopts the techniques of the "English news of English art
Aha! My namesake and one of an inspiring set of artists! Lovely to see one I haven't seen before. I'd be tempted to put it in a raw ungilded wooden italian frame though...but it's a lovely view of that warm italian light. Charleston needs our help right now...
Only came across your videos a few days ago and have watched many episodes back to back. I so enjoy them. Your knowledge is phenomenal and professionally put across. So refreshing to learn about paintings Thank you so much. once again 🙂
Oh, I had no idea how beautiful Vanessa Bell was (those eyes!). When I saw the photograph, the thought did flit through my mind that her sister Virginia may have been jealous of her. And then you said it! Although to your way of thinking it was for different reasons ...
We inherited some paintings of Italian scenes, but all done by Italian artists. It was interesting to see a British perspective. Cooler and calmer it seems to me. But beautiful as well.
"The possibilities of art." And of living surrounded by art. I dreamed of being as clever and free as VB ❤️ I think she needs a nice long view, and lucky you. 😘
I love your series. You have an amazing collection and I enjoy your insight into the works. You truly have a passion for art. As an artist, collector and a lifelong student of art history I appreciate learning about lesser known artists.Thank you from Oakland ,California.
Thank you for sharing your wondrous Vanessa Bell landscape. Are you taking requests for subjects for ART IN ISOLATION? If so, in honour of your adorably cute Whippet, Cedric, what about portraits of Whippets and/or other dogs you have at your home?
Thank you for your prompt response. The Lucien Freud episode on FAKE OR FORTUNE is a favourite. So I will add lucky you! Hope you and Oliver are staying safe. Take care.
Well, as from today we are officially downgraded to level 3 here in New Zealand and not before time - it’s all getting a bit tedious and a ‘bit on the nose’ as they say but it appears the end is in sight - really enjoying the series, although it was rather brief today. ‘And so soon ?....
Over the course of two evenings, I've sat through all eighteen episodes, particularly enjoying the relaxed, easy style of presentation...no scripts or director and seemingly little editing. I hope you find the enthusiasm to keep them coming for a while longer.
Love the series! But have to say we felt very connected to the facial hair...nothing to do with art; however, we've got to acknowledge that no one makes a quarantine feel that it will all come to a positive end...except the thoroughly British ability to groom so well. Thank you for giving us standards during self isolation!
Hello Phillip, Oliver and Cedric, could I make a request please? Would you be able to create a couple of playlists on your UA-cam channel so we can search by subject.
This series is truly inspiring. I have a portrait I would like to share with you. Your company email is not valid in Canada. How might I contact you with questions?
Hello Bill, If our email art@philipmould.com does not work for you, please feel free to contact us via our website: www.philipmould.com Many thanks, ES

Lynne Perry: I had the very same thought this morning.
Hear ! Hear x x
Well said! These programmes are a delight.
I agree.

Thank you both again for another absorbing insight into art.
Very good series thanks for sharing! Fantastic painting by Vanessa I love the colours and the atmosphere in her picture..
I love this painting. I think it would be lovely on a stone wall next to a bowl of lemons and a pot of lemon thyme. Thank you I so enjoy these episodes.
What a glorious idea!
A lovely suggestion, thank you for sharing!
thank you from western Canada for this daily respite from our interesting isolation. I am enjoying the views - of your art collection, and of your wonderful buildings and the land they sit in.
Thank you for showing your love of Vanessa Bell as much as I do, My wife is a poet and published a book 2018 titled Bloomsbury and other curiosities.
Wonderful, we will certainly take a look! ES
..."lived in squares, painted in circles and loved in triangles" !!! how clever! ... what a beautiful piece!
a well-known quote !
@@phmwu7368 ... apparently I am out of the loop lol!
@@Jigger2361 Me too!
A befitting and witty summary!
I love any information i can get on the ‘Bloomsbury Group’ especially the farmhouse they lived in. Vanessa’s
painting is full of understated brilliance, thank you Phillip so much for all your programs these are very special, and
thank you to Oliver too!
I am a Bloomsbury freak, LOL. I can't wait to see your Grant, wonderful commentary as always.
The second instalment of our Bloomsbury week is now up.
Beautiful painting! It is certain to brighten every day.
I do not know anything about Vanessa or the Bloomsbury group, but when you were describing the painting -- sunlight, swallows, her chasing away all the shadows -- I imagined her painting this very painting, outside, quickly and radiantly smiling -- almost laughing with joy at her good fortune to be there, painting that view.

Fantastic painting and the artist was previously unknown to me, thank you once again for a very interesting and informative video! Your narrative is so captivating! I’m sure you will find the perfect location for that wonderful piece.
So pleased that we've been able to introduce you to the work of Vanessa Bell.
Love how you start outside and then enter the house. Huge fan of Oliver! You really made the best out of isolation. And isn't it great that people can enjoy it for years and years to come
It is lovely and serene. You can feel the Italian sun off the painting.
A beautiful sentiment, thank you for sharing.
I visited Charleston and Monk's House on two blustery June days last year. Both very beautiful places in different ways. Virginia and
Vanessa were from very privileged backgrounds as many successful artists are, but they lived their lives true to their vision and their art, and I really admire them for that.
This has to be one of my favourite pictures yet. Wonderful light.
What a wonderful diversion from the gloom. Oliver really does a good job of capturing all the small details that help to make these videos a feast.
I only recently found these wonderful films so I'm desperately trying to catch up and see the ones in between,these films are so enjoyable,thank you for making them.
I’m so appreciative of this series! Every episode is much anticipated and enjoyed! Lovely to see Cedric!

Thrilled that you've joined us.
I live in Gainesville, Florida USA. Just discovered this show a couple of days ago and have not stopped watching it. And that's all I have to say.

Beautiful
Art at it's best
This should become a series on the BBC! love it!
"Lived in squares, painted in circles and loved in triangles". Lovely.
I think it was Noel Coward who quipped that....
would like to echo comments from others - please don’t ever stop making these - one of my family’s favorite things on the planet
We will endeavour to keep bringing you videos!

It is really hard to believe that Philip is not a painter - I have so enjoyed his notes on colour and brushwork and how and why they are used - he must be a reincarnated old master!!!!
Very interesting, she was living in the Silent Kingdom of Paint, sometimes I feel like I’m living in silent ghetto of paint
Thanks for the laugh!
That's it. Im going to look at adopting a Whippet

Congratulations on your new purchase. Vanessa's painting is beautiful.
Great story about artist the way she paints.thankyou for giving us ideas of which artists to look for very well presented fantastic brilliant thankyou
Fine observations Philip, thank you and do keep it up!
Keep doing weekly shows Phillip even after COVID so look forward to your little show, impatient really for next episode 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
"Lived in squares, painted in circles, loved in triangles," lovely.
Thank you ,quite wonderful.
Great intro to Vanessa Bell )!
Greetings from Canada. Oh, I am so glad you are tackling some Bloomsbury characters. Aren't they endlessly fascinating?
Obviously the best place to hang this painting is in my lounge room with a couple of Duncan grants still life's on each side.
Philip is more precious than the paintings
Here here!
Don't love the painting, but great story! Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your wondrous Vanessa Bell landscape. Are you taking requests for subjects for ART IN ISOLATION? If so, in honour of your adorably cute Whippet, Cedric, what about portraits of Whippets and/or other dogs you have at your home?
Sadly thin on the ground! I have some in London thought. Including a Lucian Freud.
Thank you for your prompt response. The Lucien Freud episode on FAKE OR FORTUNE is a favourite. So I will add lucky you! Hope you and Oliver are staying safe. Take care.
Absolutely perfect music choices each and every video. Where can we find a Spotify playlist? 😊

Beautiful painting! Stay safe
you can see what Virginia Woolf was driving at paint is little more tangible than print
a very literary painting though, with he facade of the Keats house right there, at the composition point
Philip I miss this program are you going to do a another little program...I’m having withdrawals from not seeing Cedric 🍄
wordless artistic mediums have the advantage of bypassing the mental baggage that can twist +/or obscure the written word's' meaning and purpose
Over the course of two evenings, I've sat through all eighteen episodes, particularly enjoying the relaxed, easy style of presentation...no scripts or director and seemingly little editing. I hope you find the enthusiasm to keep them coming for a while longer.
That sky looks like layered pastel to me but the rest oil. Maybe it’s just the screen.

Are paintings an alternate reality, such as fiction and/or movies?

More whippet action, pls.
