Thank you so much for this engaging intriguing fun and fact filled series. I look forward to each episode so much and am hoping it will continue in some form after Isolation.
I love love love your channel. Sharing your exquisite art pieces and all the learning. From Alberta Canada. I guess the paying of fruit mid 1600s. Thanks for this. The videographer is doing an amazingly professional job. Many many thanks. I love art now!! Thanks to you!
I’ve always loved Joe Plaskett’s work. It was nice to hear you referencing him. Being Canadian I knew the name right away. I love how you move through different styles and subjects used in art. Another great episode!
Thank you Philip for your delightful isolation vignettes, daily salve for the scratchy irritant of imprisonment incommunicado witb the rest of humanity. At once both enlightening and entertaining they are the very stuff of "Englishness". Please don't stop.
Phil you must be one of if not thee most knowledgeable, informative and charismatic in your profession. It’s one thing to have the opinions you do but the way you explain is so warming and almost ASMR like, thank you.
I stumbled across this series of lovely films today and can't begin to describe how much they have cheered me up. Utter bliss. Thank you so much Philip and Oliver.
From start to finish..a charming painting. Haven't had a souffle in ages. Egg-tastic video!!! The teaser....solid machine cut table....heirloom peach??? hmmm.....looks like a pair of George IV peaches....1820s.???
Again, merci, for your wonderfully expressive observations on the art residing in your home. Each episode is another doorway into a treasure chest of undiscovered artists and their work.
I’m so happy that I came across your lovely channel. I truly enjoy listening to you explore the paintings and give some history on them . Thank you again I’m hooked 🤗
'Enchanting' - as has each of your episodes been Philip and I now find myself re-reflecting on our own humble collection of artworks and by recalling our reasons for hanging these and discovering yet more ... I do so appreciate your nuanced and intelligent commentaries and look forward to watching more - thank you !!
I am so enjoying your videos, and thank you for sharing your home with us. You are so relaxed and your enthusiasm for your artworks reaches us all. Congratulations to Oliver for his fine work.
Thank you for the delicious episode! We perceived a sunken soufflé and liked the humor of all the ingredients and effort that led to single dish. We so enjoy visiting you and your home. - friends in Ben Lomond California
Yet another marvelous commentary.Every day you bring something to cheer my dreary days in isolation, and inspire me to keep doing a little painting. Thankyou so much.
I am going to go late thirties early 40s, the paint technique seems to say that to me... Even though it tries to be a period style still life... Adore the cours in it... As for the chestnut 🌰 souffle painting.. It is a style I absolutely adore... Love trompe l'œils very much... I love to cook as well and this spoke to me instantly. Another great art in isolation moment!
David Hill was a painting masochist. Those tiles are so difficult: but impeccable. I'm glad you explained the three tiers of the cooking method. It had passed over me. You're a wonderful revealer of the artists intentions Philip. A lockdown compensation.
Thank you, thank you , thank you...... I found your page while I was looking for the videos of your BBC program 'Fake or Fortune last year. I am a massive fan of that program. I was watching the videos which you added to your Chanel time to time. Tonight one of your 'art in isolation videos popped on the suggested videos. I was over the moon. I watched each and every videos one by one tonight. At once..... I can't describe how happy I am. That is exactly what I needed in these Corona days..... A bit of art! A bit of art for my soul, to cheer me up, to remind me the power of the art to lift us up! Such a brilliant idea..... I appreciate you and your son for your time and effort..... Loads of love
This is one of my favourite episodes , I am a potter and I love to cook. Crockery and cooking and food are just wonderful. There's a tiny bit of feather stuck to one of the eggs in the second painting . I remember gathering eggs as a young girl on the farm and bit's of feather almost always figured in the basket.
"Hummed eggness ... I let them go, I still regret it, it still cracks into my dreams ... " Philip Mould on not purchasing David Hockney's drawing of Two Eggs.
I am so appreciative of you, your insights, art collection, and for opening up your beautiful home. Here in isolation, it has meant the world to me. I was taught to paint in oils by Western artist, Ray Eyerly. He learned how to paint in the old master's manner. I adore painting like this, plus pen and ink. Other than just a couple of visits and letters sent between the two of us, I have had no lessons. I was 8 and 9 years old when Ray taught me how to paint a "picture or two." I am in my 60's now and just finishing up my second Masters in ecology from OSU. However, in the middle of dissertations and research, I started painting again. It is a wonderful magical place to be. I understand fully your love of paintings, and when I am long gone, I hope my paintings and their secrete messages live on in a wonderful collection like yours. I have just started a website and have very little there right now. I painted my two pet cows (I am Vegan) standing in my front fields. Kid is in the background, and Rain Cloud, her daughter is standing closer. I took that picture in 2006 but painted it in 2019. At 35 years old, Kid passed away peacefully near the spot I painted her! I do not blow up copies to trace, instead, I use calipers because it helps train the eye. I am studying the old Masters and painting a few to absorb their styles. Sorry for rambling, but I am so excited to paint and learn about the lives of other painters and some who are long gone. Thank you! www.allyson-miller-artist-ecologist.com/
I am a nurse and I see patterns, symmetry, but not the narrative. Thankyou so much for your depth and humbleness, perhaps genuine love of sharing. Have a great day!
Thank you so much again! I saw a beautiful little egg painting in france.. more than 10 years ago.. and i’am stil thinking about it😅So , i do get it..🍳🥚
These two paintings by David Hill, were my favourites from your collection so far. I'm keen to do some investigation into some of his other works. Thanks for introducing me to this talented artist. Watching from New Zealand.
As an artist, I so appreciate intelligent, thought provoking and the sometimes questionable companionship you offer me in this series, Philip. Thank you for being so true to you, you thoughts, and most of all your "eye". Best wishes for the western USA!!!
I just discovered this jewel in RUclips and now I want to see all of them. Thanks a lot for this wonderful little tale, and by the way: what a delicious meadow to lie in the grass, looking for the first swallow. Much more beautifull than the fabric-made prairies here in the Netherlands!
Hi Philip thank you for this wonderful series. For me, the 1st egg painting had an allegorical message... The top shelf the ingredients for life... Next shelf the ingredients blended together and a successful outcome hoped for... And lastly, triumphantly the souffle is complete in all its glory.. but alas, the souffle once taken from the oven begins to deflate and then is consumed...
I so much look forward to your videos. It is though we are defying being in isolation by visiting your home and being impacted by your enthusiasm and easy-going manner. Keep them coming! JohnQ Freshwater NSW Australia
As a Canadian I am familiar with and love Joe Plaskett’s work but had not heard of David Hill. Something new to study! Thank you so much for this fabulous series!
The lovely little gardenscape through the kitchen door, at the end, drew my eye. I am very much enjoying the art. Regards, take care from Melbourne, Australia
So great for this. Thank you Philip. Who thought that a year later we would still be in some form of isolation? Your series is ver interesting, informative, and awakinging my love of art, that had been supressed in the hurley burley of life.
this series has just been an utter joy for me to watch. I love anything art, but having a special private tour of some very remarkable pieces in your collection has just been a marvellous distraction from the doom and gloom of the news of late. Thank you for your time, your insight, and your extraordinary passion for art.
These programmes are a revelation and a privilege in so many ways. I'm an ex-pat living in Nepal, not exactly in isolation but far from England. I recently discovered Fake or Fortune on RUclips, absolutely fascinating, now we continue with your beautiful paintings, beautifully modulated voice and beautiful house! What a huge inspiration! Thank you!
This painting is fabulous! I love the dimension the tiles give. "He captured the inner egg" omg! lol. you're the best. I've got to stop stalking these wonderful videos!
I have only recently come across these fascinating and enlightening videos. This. particular one brought to mind the peerless still life paintings of Pierre Chardin. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have one of his representations of simple domestic objects - a glass of water and an earthenware jug or a delicious pyramid of strawberries - in one's kitchen, providing, of course that the kitchen is big enough to do it justice! I was fortunate to see an exhibition of his work some years ago, I think at the Royal Academy and, like David Hockney's ability to demonstrate the egginess of his dish of eggs, Chardin is the prime illustrator of the thinginess of things.
I had the great honour to meet the wonderful Joe Plaskett David Hill's partner here in Victoria BC years ago (not too long before he passed) -he was having a show at a gallery i was represented by at the time Winchester Galleries. He was sitting in a very comfortable chair almost enthroned -and so many people flocked around him--he was really so kind and chatted with everyone-was a long day for him.
This is perhaps my favourite episode even if it is a bit short 😊 I love realism and it is a wonderful painting! Also loved the story of the eggs that got away.
I just want to thank you for inviting us in to your home, I will miss this when its all over. I have to say I love the pieces you have by David Hill, if you ever decide you cant live with the egg painting feel free to send it my way, lol
The David Hill paintings are very nice. I came to know a bit about him and Joe Plaskett from their friend, author, illustrator and sculptor Virgil Burnett, who I came to know here in Stratford, Ontario. As you probably know, after leaving France, Plaskett lived outside of Woodbridge, Suffolk for many years. I believe it was called 'The Cedars.' Such great talents. And such full lives. Thanks for sharing. Lovely.
Very well presented in explaining the history of the artists and subjects painted draws you in Fantastic. silver plate picture glimpse of hand writing guess 1650 Cromwell era
Really enjoyed this episode. Those are both striking pieces and your deconstruction of the work and explanation of where they are placed in terms of broader technique made them all the better. I really like these sharp and precise pieces, but hadn’t fully grasped the extent of the artists self restraint. Like them in the kitchen too!
I found your films(?) by accident and have since be enthralled by each episode. I am an abstract painter, if that term has any meaning, and was trained as an Art Historian. Thank you for being so thorough and delightful.
Still Life With Peaches And An Apple On A Pewter Plate, after William Jones Of Bath.... the image can be bought even now as a high quality handmade reproduction... I love your series, thank you !
Thank you so much for your generosity in doing this series. Please - linger a little longer on the paintings. I think I saw an ethereal feather on the bowl of eggs, but the glimpse was too fleeting! But who am I to complain? This is a wonderful treat and I am loving every episode.
Wonderful still life paintings. The dish with eggs in second one is so well painted, with the chipped enamel edges. Thanks once more for sharing. Maybe one of you gents could whip up an omelette on camera to show that grand kitchen in action! :) Cheers
Domesticity is profoundly important in art ...this painting is beautifully placed eggs are so homely and ancient....you are so wonderful to fill your house with sensibilities which only enhance 👌🐇🐥🦆🌿🌳🖍🎨📣
These are two wonderful works. The second is far more than just an image of eggs. The chips on the bowl and the feather speak of not only the bowl's story, but the moment the artist chose the bowl to display the eggs of the day. Even though there is a feather in the center of the eggs the image feels un-staged. Love it !
Hello from Minnesota! I love to cook but I’m one alone in isolation. So I put up stew or chili or spaghetti sauces and freeze in portions. The food art I love are the super realistic ones showing seafood and fowl and animals all fresh from the hunt and gathering like would be in a palace kitchen. Loved your comments. Great idea for a few minutes respite from our confinement.
This series is really comforting, different, entertaining and simply beautiful to watch. Every single night we are watching, relaxing, admiring and learning. Thank you very much for sharing with people all over the world! Don´t stop, please. Greetings from Alentejo.
Thank you! I hate cooking and any form of domesticity (I'm more akin to the gardener and laundry maid) but I LOVED the souffle picture. Would love to have it in my kitchen.
Loved these two paintings, the first is just beautiful and so evocative of the seemingly simple French way of cooking but then you realise that each dish is just an amalgam of form and function and each is needed. Then there are the tiles used on the shelves, simple but so, so evocative. I wasn't so taken with the eggs in the second painting as much as the chips in the plate, I have plates like that and it's impossible not to nick them with use! But that's art and the eye of the beholder. I've an admirer of your taste for a while. Thank you and I will certainly seek out more of this series. Liked and subscribed.
You have a very unique way of giving prominence, and nuance to a moment.......making that moment magical, glorious like memories ablaze with contemplation......like eaxhaltation. Experiecing your content during these times is reassuring .........you inhabit a space in time......that history will illuminate with favor......your tone, and sensitivity, are calming, and courageous simultaneously. Thanks for the exquisite imagery, more importantly, thanks for sharing your passion for living well as a vehilce to liberate us from our ordinary selves! Britain is great......because she can, and has made greatness possible while in the business of serving the realm!.......not by ruling it........but by loving it! All the best to you! Desmond.
Well that’s very kind Desmond. I like the art to do the hard work. I just plant and harrow a few thoughts around it, made easier because I know it so well. So glad you get pleasure from it. Thank you. Philip
Thank you for interesting series and for treating your audience with such respect! We are watching from Helsinki ( and we saw nearly all episodes of Fake and Fortune)
I’m so glad you are back as I thought the 13th day was the end. This is really helping me to understand my art better and fuels me with enthusiasm to begin another project. Thank you so much. Incidentally, I love that painting as the shelves create such depth and makes it look 3D. Very clever!
"the souffle ... its fortunes were beginning to rise". Philip Mould, you're a poet.
Thank you so much for this engaging intriguing fun and fact filled series. I look forward to each episode so much and am hoping it will continue in some form after Isolation.

Thank you.
Thank you Philip for your delightful isolation vignettes, daily salve for the scratchy irritant of imprisonment incommunicado witb the rest of humanity. At once both enlightening and entertaining they are the very stuff of "Englishness". Please don't stop.
Good afternoon from Auckland, New Zealand ... 🙂🙂🙂
They say that from all bad comes some good: your series has been the good from the bad (lockdown). Thanks for taking the time to do it.

LOVE these Philip!! Keep them coming! ....from Florida!!!
Great series. Thank you. I reckon very modern. Within last 10 years.
It was pained in 1779 and the artist is William Jones.
From over the pond - we just love the chats on your art and retrospective. Thank you!
Another cracking episode, many thanks! I want to egg you on, because we are just loving this series...
Very good!
From start to finish..a charming painting. Haven't had a souffle in ages. Egg-tastic video!!!
The teaser....solid machine cut table....heirloom peach??? hmmm.....looks like a pair of George IV peaches....1820s.???
I LOVE those kitchen paintings - particularly the first one! As you say Philip, perfect for the kitchen.
Again, merci, for your wonderfully expressive observations on the art residing in your home. Each episode is another doorway into a treasure chest of undiscovered artists and their work.
I am so enjoying this series - and have spread the word. Charming, accessible. interesting - and a bit of "otherness", here in Australian isolation.
So enjoying art in isolation and glimpses in your home and life. Thank you.
I’m so happy that I came across your lovely channel. I truly enjoy listening to you explore the paintings and give some history on them . Thank you again I’m hooked 🤗

I’d say 1923. Terrific short films! A bit of wanderlust all the way from Australia (dreaming is all we have at the moment!)
The artwork was completed in 1779, and the artist is William Jones!

Greetings from Canada. Nice to see you back again. Indeed, a good picture for a kitchen, although too large for my small kitchen.

I have only recently come across these fascinating and enlightening videos. This. particular one brought to mind the
peerless still life paintings of Pierre Chardin.

Well that’s very kind Desmond. I like the art to do the hard work. I just plant and harrow a few thoughts around it, made easier because I know it so well. So glad you get pleasure from it. Thank you.
Philip
1920s I don’t know why but it makes me think of Gatsby. Thank you for a very enjoyable episode
Catching up with thise series, and so enjoying you sharing your passion, thanks also to Oliver, cameraman!
What a perfect development, art and food, love it! Given our reported en masse preoccupation with food in these quarantine time it is only natural :D
Thank you so much for drawing us into your art. And to your so very talented son, Oliver, who should surely have a very bright future.
That was a nice touch there at the end, framing Philip with the open door next to him. A bit of 'found poetry?'
Just love this series!
Thank you for interesting series and for treating your audience with such respect! We are watching from Helsinki ( and we saw nearly all episodes of Fake and Fortune)
really lovely painted
I say it with the greatest admiration when I say that, to me, Philip is to the art world what Ralph Lauren is to the world of fashion.
After three days! A new Art in Isolation! Just when I had just about shrivelled up and died... Phillip and Oliver, please don’t do that to me again.
Lovely again. Thank you very much.
Thank you.
I’m so glad you are back as I thought the 13th day was the end. This is really helping me to understand my art better and fuels me with enthusiasm to begin another project. Thank you so much.
Incidentally, I love that painting as the shelves create such depth and makes it look 3D. Very clever!
How wonderful that you've been inspired to begin a new project!
