Philip, thanks for the detailed study of this painting, Janet Buchanan was my grandmother and so its very special to me and my family. There are a few details we can help you with - I believe my sister is onto it!
Philip, I can't believe how much I am learning from you through these short videos. You have given me a great gift through them. Also, I can see how generous you and your son are for making these videos in this tough time that we are all going through- you guys have warmed my heart greatly!
Thank you Phillip and Oliver. I can’t wait for your next art video. It’s a bit like opening an advent calendar and finding a treat inside my mailbox. Truly Wonderful! 😊
Here on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico in the year 2023, we are still enjoying the fabulous paintings in your collection. Thank you, Phillip Mould for making our lives richer. Just LOVE your home!
Mr. Mould, these videos are fantastic, I'm enjoying them so much!!! Your home and art collection are a dream. It's like I've been given an early Christmas present. Big hugs from Holland!!!
I love the work of Gwen John and Mary Fedden , I love early British modernist art , these are excellent programs you're presenting , this is the best way to see art , in peoples homes where it is lived with and loved not just stared at for a few seconds in an art gallery. Thank you for sharing your art and home with us it's really wonderful . Cheerio ! From a beautiful artist filled island off the west coast of Canada .
Yes! One of the great joys of my ten years as a docent at the Palmer Museum of Art [Penn State] was to visit collectors' homes, and to become acquainted with other members of the museum. Thank you for extending your hospitality those here abroad in the United States.
Thank you Mr. Mould, for the priviledge of viewing your 'at home' collection. This painting is simply magnificent in it's obvious nod to the classics and yet it's very modern style. To me there is a flowing movement about this painting. The large flat sky and the great tree trunks, the poses of the subjects and drape of the men's trousers, and especially the background...the hayricks and that picket fence all make me think of Thomas Hart Benton. I'm sure I am completly off on this but that undulating picket fence brought American Realism and especially Benton instantly to mind. When a painting makes me think of other artists and when I begin to reference and compare.... then art is all that much more enjoyable, relevant and alive. Thank you.
Hello Philip, what a delightful person you are. You bring so much of the art world to life . I live in Madeira. I have lived away from u.k. thirty two years.. . I miss most the art world ,the Galleries, and the sheer magic which is evoked by art. A keen visitor to the Galleries, your programs are magic. Thank you. I love your house, and how sensible to whitewash the walls. Sincerely, and with kind thoughts, Valérie Farrington , Calheta, Madeira. July. 2020.
At first glance, I was expecting the painting would be described as an example of post-revolution Soviet art. It has that essence of romanticizing a collective farm.
Thank you so very much for this wonderful and interesting series , As an artist myself I have been so bored by the Contemporary art world lately ...You have inspired me to get back to work !!! Best from Puebla, Mexico
Hello Philip, from a tiny village in the mountains of the Overberg in South Africa, and a big Thank You for this wonderful program; what a treat! You’ve got another fan! It was actually the 12th one I watched first, pleasantly surprised to have discovered you in this third week of Lockdown in SA. In it I heard you mention one of the famous Dutch painters, Melchior d’Hondecoeter. Every year in April I go to Holland for a few weeks, to see my children, and stay in The Hague. There my first trip is always to my favorite museum: the Mauritshuis, where I visit the paintings as old friends. Two of them are beautiful ones from d’Hondecoeter, geese and ducks and chicken and ducks. But how you showed this wonderful painting ‘Queen of the Harvest’ was fascinating, thank you so much! I just love the way she painted that ethereal light..... This coming Friday we will go into another two weeks of Lockdown and hopefully you will be making more of these fascinating videos. Stay safe, happy and healthy....
Oliver, Cedric and dear Philip! Thank you again for inviting us into your home and sharing your collection as well as the history of your acquisitions and your relationship with the works!
Thank goodness Easter is over and you are back again. I love every second of these programs. It is important that you bought this work knowing nothing about the artist except what seller told you, so it is reinforced you choose by instinct and knowledge rather than its money value. Keep on with these please. My heart breaks for all those women artists who have been lost to male art history, even when successful in their own time. Keep safe and well from Melbourne Australia
Such a serendipitous find! I’ve been binge watching all afternoon. What an absolute treat during lockdown, enjoying your art collection, stunning home and knowledge. Mr Renouf would be so proud of you!
I am very much enjoying your Art in Isolation series. There is a quiet comfort to them that appeals to me. Thank you for your insight on this painting. The first thought that came to mind before you shared, was she reminded me a bit, of what one might see in a traditional composition of a Birth of Venus, with her three graces present. It was also nice to meet the face behind the camera. Your son.
I would’ve bet $ that was a Benton. This is why I never in fact bet on anything (except the S and P 500). A little knowledge can be a dangerous, or at least expensive, thing.
I spent less time than I'd like in the British Art Center at Yale in the 1980s when I was seeking documentation on Phelan Gibb. There are few places where we can delve into English modern art. Thank you for devoting your period of isolation to this.
I'm just watching this for Cedric. I think Cedric should have his own Cushions and Soft Furnishings Show. Hi Oliver, you're all doing a fabulous job of cheering me up.
The size of the wall and style of your house was just made for this picture. The story behind it is fascinating because you have made it so with your absolute love of art.
Greetings Philip, this show is quite simply a wonder! Your deep passion radiates from every episode. They are always informative and inspiring. Keep them coming.
Chimayo Church is where I collected a little earth and put it into my daughter’s grave with her in London. My father is New Mexican from Las Cruces. I studied Art at the Byam Shaw in the 60s. I love this series, thank you again !
I am so enjoying these wonderful programmes. They are inspiring in many ways and the informality of the filming and presentation create warmth and, for me, a great eagerness to learn. Thank you so much and please don't stop after lockdown!
Enjoy your content immensely. Love your passion and enthusiasm. Your search for mislabeled and misattributed works is addictive. Greetings from Canada.
Thank you Philip and Oliver for giving a bright, beautiful and interesting “fillip” to our days in isolation. Here in the Antipodes (Sydney, Australia) we are so grateful that we can connect with you and others on the far side of the world and be informed in our art education. Please keep going. You don’t know the half of the lift in spirits your films produce.
I love this series. Thank you so much. I am currently researching my UK ancestry and hope to visit in this fall. As a painter myself, I really appreciate seeing the art. Greetings from Minneapolis MN.
Again and again, outstanding content. There is a WPA (Works Progress Administration - 1930s Depression era USA) look to this painting. Future and forward looking, survival symbolism -- the harvest - also the dignity of human life and the modern era. Would it be possible for you to mention the art media used in the works you describe? And if things are done on panel, canvas, paper etc? I would love to know what these artists worked in. Kindest regards from Texas. Thank you so much
WPA, and the Taos, New Mexico, (USA) painting of a similar era. Also, similar in feeling to the paintings of some of the Group of Seven out of the 1920's and '30's from Canada. Wonderful work, all of it.
Good afternoon and thank you for your comment. We will ensure that we keep you informed, regarding materials, in future videos - either in the video itself, or within the description. This particular work is oil on canvas!
What an interesting painting! There are other painters who choose to work in isolation,away from the ratrace of the commercial artworld.thanks ,akrajnc
Thank you once again ! a bright spot in my day just when i thought spring was coming it snowed 6 inches and 12 inches north of me here in Sault Ste. Marie Ontario Canada .
I adore your house and love to see all the art on the walls and around. I grew up with art all over the walls in my home in Finland. I want to start “hanging” more on my walls. Thank you for sharing and inspiring me. Greetings from Huntsville Alabama.
Thank you, Philip and Oliver, for this lovely series. You transport me straight to the UK and to a fuller understanding of how to look at, and think about, art. It almost makes isolation worthwhile! Cheers.
Thanks again Philip & Oliver, another wonderful episode. Interesting painting and story. I think art from the first half of the 20th century is quite fascinating - wars, 1930's depression, hope and new beginnings. It also makes me think how this time (we are living around the world at the moment) will impact on art in the coming decades. It would be interesting to be a “fly on the wall” and hear what is being said about the art of our time after a hundred years.
I am really enjoying these little beautiful gems during these dark times. In self-isolation since the beginning of March, here in Sardinia, I find comfort in the beauty of art. Thank you so much for your videos, Mr Mould.
Since we are on the subject of early British modern art....would like to see in the future about the Grosvenor School of Modern Art...just a thought. Best and keep them rolling.
Your so outstanding at putting art across it would be amazing if you did more tv programs on art. No one puts it across as superb as you do. Thank you 😊
I really enjoyed this episode, I haven't heard of Jan Buchanan, but I love this period of art between the wars, as you say a lot of what was created then has a serenity and a connection with the earth and the landscape that I really admire and love. Today I started reading Paul Nash's memoir 'Outline', by coincidence. It's a really luminous book. Your talks are illuminating, really enjoying them. Thank you.
I love the palette in this work it’s absolutely stunning - she looks a bit miserable the poor old thing but what a painter. Thrilled to stumble on this show it’s a real ‘pick me up’ - thanks and all the best.
Another great episode! Could u tell us more about ur early life soon like when you went to see the professor and his museum of the America’s, or an example of u on a pc or laptop and how you look for pictures I find your way and appreciation of art truly mesmerizing and no doubt inspiring! Stay safe Phil and fam
Philip, thanks for the detailed study of this painting, Janet Buchanan was my grandmother and so its very special to me and my family. There are a few details we can help you with - I believe my sister is onto it!
Nothing better than Philip he’s just so comforting
Again! I loved hearing what drew you to these lovely paintings throughout your property! Your son is doing a great job! Thanks so much!
It’s not just your knowledge, but your ability to share your enthusiasm for art, and inspire the same enthusiasm in the viewer. Thank you so much!
Mr Mould. I simply can't get enough of Art In Isolation! Please keep these videos coming even after we've all been paroled and released.
Thank you very much. We will endeavour to keep bringing you more films!
This should be an ongoing series even after isolation, very educational, and pure enjoyment.
Philip, I can't believe how much I am learning from you through these short videos. You have given me a great gift through them. Also, I can see how generous you and your son are for making these videos in this tough time that we are all going through- you guys have warmed my heart greatly!

I am captivated by this painting. Very much so.
Thanks for your excellent explanations of the various arts of worm which I enjoy very Munch.
I just feel joy when watching. :) Wish I could have sent in a pic standing next to a few of my fun little gems!

I love your episodes. Thank you!
At first glance, I was expecting the painting would be described as an example of post-revolution Soviet art. It has that essence of romanticizing a collective farm.
Me too.. Very Soviet 1930 feel.
Much like Thomas Hart Benton and Diego Rivera murals.
@@izzy1563 Yes! THB!! a suggestion of his distorted perspective
Yes, I quite agree. I knew that I was a bit tugged to recognize something that seemed very familiar and I think you put your finger right on it!
Interesting!
Thank you Philip and Oliver, for another wonderful little vignette. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Thank you so very much for this wonderful and interesting series , As an artist myself I have been so bored by the Contemporary art world lately ...You have inspired me to get back to work !!! Best from Puebla, Mexico
I love your programs from South Africa!
From New Zealand, loving your videos. Thank you. Inspiring
The door to your house is a work of art too. What a gorgeous place!

@Philip Mould and Co. Thank you...I needed this today! What a fantastical painting! What a fabulous room!~ Ta.
Such a serendipitous find! I’ve been binge watching all afternoon. What an absolute treat during lockdown, enjoying your art collection, stunning home and knowledge. Mr Renouf would be so proud of you!

Thank you from Australia.
Reminds me in a way of Thomas Hart Benton, maybe the colours ,,, lovely !
I saw that as well. The elongated limbs also speak to the style of Thomas Hart Benton.
I would’ve bet $ that was a Benton. This is why I never in fact bet on anything (except the S and P 500). A little knowledge can be a dangerous, or at least expensive, thing.
Another fantastic video and painting.... yes i was thinking Peaky Blinders especially the hair cuts on the men. Keep them coming
Thank you both.
Lovely video, thank you for sharing. Enjoying it tremendously! From far away Limache in Chile.
Yes so agree upon the surreal aspect of this work. The pigments in themselves, point to the supernatural ideology of her expression. Thank you.
Nice to have you back! As said before, erudite television is rare but all the more rewarding!
Most people think that is a kind of glue.
Well, that makes this kind of television/videos all the more worthwhile!@@heraldeventsandfilms5970
Greetings from Canberra Australia love everything you do, thank you.
These films are wonderful. Thank you so much. Stimulating and helping me with my own paintings because you notice o much.
Loveyóur series! Greetings from California.

I'm just watching this for Cedric. I think Cedric should have his own Cushions and Soft Furnishings Show. Hi Oliver, you're all doing a fabulous job of cheering me up.
..lol classic
These episodes are amazing. Please don’t ever stop creating them. It’s transporting for both me and for my mother. We love watching! Incredible!
Oh wow, thank you for introducing me to Jan Buchanan - what wonderful work! Thanks again for this series :)
Exquisite art classes.. they are wonderful!
The size of the wall and style of your house was just made for this picture. The story behind it is fascinating because you have made it so with your absolute love of art.
Wonderful. Thank you. A breath of fresh air and a glimpse of life to return,
Mr Mould, THANK YOU
Wonderful painting.
Such a lovely painting . I love its composition and colour.
We agree, a beautiful painting.
Greetings Philip, this show is quite simply a wonder! Your deep passion radiates from every episode. They are always informative and inspiring. Keep them coming.
Thank you!
Really enjoying these tutorials. You obviously really love and enjoy your paintings, more than just objects .
Thank you so much. I learn something new each time. Hopefully you can continue.
Thank you for reaching out from isolation, and educating us about these works.
From Chimayo, New Mexico, US.
Chimayo Church is where I collected a little earth and put it into my daughter’s grave with her in London. My father is New Mexican from Las Cruces. I studied Art at the Byam Shaw in the 60s. I love this series, thank you again !
Fabulously Thank you Philip
Good painting, I would add, there is a great sense of space and openness about the painting. The branches of the trees are like birds wings in flight.
We agree, such a beautiful painting.
Really interesting. I hope someone out there knows more about her.
I am so enjoying these wonderful programmes. They are inspiring in many ways and the informality of the filming and presentation create warmth and, for me, a great eagerness to learn. Thank you so much and please don't stop after lockdown!
Thank you for bringing paintings to life. This one is so special ! Stay safe both of you.

Thank you! From Hong Kong.
Phillip you have a lovely house an i do so enjoy watching your various showsi am looking forward tto the art galleries opening again. Thank you.
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you for your time in showing your paintings please continue long after this pandemic.
Thank you for your kind words. We will endeavour to keep bringing you videos!
When you have to put the feeling in words, there's nobody like Philip Mould...pagan.yes that 's perfect for this painting, I felt it !
Again and again, outstanding content. There is a WPA (Works Progress Administration - 1930s Depression era USA) look to this painting. Future and forward looking, survival symbolism -- the harvest - also the dignity of human life and the modern era.

Thank you so much
I thought the same thing. The Minneapolis Art Institute had an exhibit a few years back of many of the WPA art and that's why I recognized the style.
WPA, and the Taos, New Mexico, (USA) painting of a similar era. Also, similar in feeling to the paintings of some of the Group of Seven out of the 1920's and '30's from Canada.
Wonderful work, all of it.

Dear Mr. Mould I love this series of programmes and also that blue velvet sofa at the end of this video. I'll give you a tenner for it.
What an interesting painting! There are other painters who choose to work in isolation,away from the ratrace of the commercial artworld.thanks ,akrajnc
Love this series and find it provocative for my own work.
Well the addiction has taken hold and I’m loving it thankyou from australia
This just made my day! Thank you
It almost pierces the realms of dreams...
Really inspiring and interesting.
Wonderful piece. Reminds me a bit of Thomas Hart Benton. Many thanks again. Stay safe.
A good thought

I love this picture. Thank you for pointing out the details.
Thank you, Philip and Oliver, for this lovely series. You transport me straight to the UK and to a fuller understanding of how to look at, and think about, art. It almost makes isolation worthwhile! Cheers.
Art can indeed brighten this time of distance and isolation.
That is a masterpiece. The draftsmanship is top notch. I love how she positioned the harvest queens hips and neck. The whole posture is beautiful.
We completely agree, a beautiful work of art.
Glad it went to such a good home
Thank you for these master classes during quarantine.
