Art in Isolation Episode Ten 'Nailing the Object' 

"So this, is where I sleep..." never could this be said with so much sweetness as by Philip.

Thank you so much for being so kind to share your amazing home, art, wonderful personality, your son Oliver with us. I very appreciate it!

Everything about your environment is stunning. This series is bringing such joy. While you were all in isolation, I was assisting as a nurse. Now I get to enjoy these videos to the fullest without a care in the world. How utterly sublime.

You’re a good soul, Philip. Once again, thank you for sharing your knowledge, perspective and small part of your Ive with us. Cheers and good health from Casey Key, Florida, USA

Thank you Philip and Oliver, in Australia we wake up to this, nothing I am enjoying more than sitting in the morning sun (still warm here) drinking my coffee looking at wonderful art being talked about with passion. Might try to stay up for the 4pm live session

One of the best things on the net, beautiful house, authentic, imparting knowledge and visually attractive. Well done!!

I was so delighted to find Art in Isolation, I came across it quite by chance. Thank you Philip, you brightened my day!

What a wonderful series this is. I think I love the less formal aspect of the way you present in these sessions. Your love of your collections shines through. I had not heard of Cedric Morris, what a loss to me. Now I appreciate his work and understand the issue of perspective as he uses it. I do love the home you have and the ease you have living in it. Do keep up this series, it is the highlight of my day in isolation. Kind regards from Melbourne Australia.

Just stumbled upon these. Wishing I had known about your wonderful series during lockdown here in NZ. I have noticed in many parts of the world, Sow thistle is often called Milk thistle. It is one of the less maligned of the weeds, not being particularly invasive, or worrisome and being enjoyed as a treat by most grazing animals. It is a good plant to have in paddocks as it provides nutrients that grasses and clovers do not necessarily contain due to a difference in root depth. The leaves are particularly soft and succulent and attract sheep, cattle, horses, rabbits, hares, and most other herbivores. They are basically free of prickles which I am sure adds to the attraction to animals. These plants can be easily handled without gloves, where as a Scotch or Californian thistles require decent protection for a gardener's hands!

Never dull never boring never a wasted moment. Always illuminating. Thank you.

This is so much better than real television. I just love these informal and intimate glimpses into your beautiful home and fascinating art collection. Thank you for sharing your passion and vast knowledge of art and artists. I read the previous comment from a watercolour artist from Vancouver Island and coincidentally I too am a watercolour artist and teacher on Vancouver Island in Canada, but your home and garden remind me of my father’s house in Suffolk not far from Willy Lott’s Cottage.

Lots of warmth to your family too from Melbourne Australia 🙏⭐️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

in the times now we actually have time to reflect on art , its influence in our lives and its presence in our homes too. I dabble in painting and though far from being any good it does soothe the spirit..Learning about paintings and the painters is always a great experience and i love your approach and passion to how you tell us about your artworks in your home..sadly i live in a rental and most my paintings and lithographs are now in storage..my husband passed away about a year ago..between him and me we accumulated a lot of artwork.which was hung in our lovely five bedroom period home..sadly i couldnt afford to keep on the house after his death...not valuable art but ones that spoke to us and became meaningful.. i am truly loving watching your videos..love to you from melbourne australia also in isolation..

Thank you for making my isolation so much more bearable... greetings from Atlanta.

Philip love your collection and thank you for sharing your private home and art !

Philip just discovered your series and how wonderful to hear you describing your personal tastes and your personal art collection. Am sure everyone will agree that this is a great lift to our days sitting out the world we have suddenly found ourselves thrown into. Lost my partner to cancer, aged only 56, in early Feb, friend said I must take you to Paris and immense you in the Louvre and the d'Orsay to help you come to terms that life must go on. We left just before the "lockdown", but did come back with CV or at least GPs states symptoms match. Recovered now. Many thanks again, as we are going to have another 3 weeks, minimum, hopefully another 15 films still to come. Best Wishes and keep safe, Simon

Oh Mr Mould, what a wonderful thing to do on a rainy day. Sitting on the edge of my bed, feeding the cat, drinking coffee and learning from you..

Thank you for sharing your home with us all! I have been really enjoying the series. Already up to date, working my way through the first series.

Thankyou Philip and Oliver....happily just found this series, and must tell you that sow thistle e- specially in Aotearoa New Zealand is a prized plant especially by Maori for nutrition, anti oxidant properties and food....and yes, it is all over Australia too....chooks adore it.

Thank you for showing me Cedric Morris, his work is a revelation to me! I never heard of him before, perhaps because I can't stand Lucian Freud (cold, creepy, dismal paintings). The landscapes put me in mind of the warped perspective in William Robinson, Australian painter. Thanks again!!

Thank you, I only recently found these videos. I was in isolation 3 months ago and am still in isolation, so you are much appreciated.

Thank you Philip ,wonderful for the times ,and it's a great opportunity for all of us to slow down and appreciate the best of European Culture .

Wow! I’d never have guessed it was his work. Thank you Oliver and Phillip!

I can't tell you how much I love your videos - superb - please don't stop!

Wow really cool for a quarantined day. Thanks

Such a great series, I've been loving it. 💗💗💗

Thank you for continuing with this marvellous series of videos and for your great generosity in sharing. I think you must be a wonderful father as you obviously have a lovely relationship with your adult son. So...well done both Mr. Moulds!

I just recently discovered your excellent videos in isolation. I adore them and I am learning so much! I can just feel your enthusiasm! I look forward to seeing more as I am staying at home here in Washington (the state!) in the USA. Good health to you and your family.

You cannot but admire the English style , that slightly messy layered yet elegant style that signifies the look. No shiny chic, no nod to high fashion, just comfort and quality. Compare to the American equivelent of Philippe, with matchy matchy intérieurs and tons of bed pillows and of course huge rooms !! Love this house and the gardens are of course even better and even more English ! Thank you for the fascinating content too. Hugs from France.

Great show thanks for doing it Huntsville Alabama PS we are great fans!

Well, I’ve watched all,of these, and thank you.

Dear Philip, you 've just proved it again, erudite television is possible! Looking forward to more here in Sweden!

Love your videos Phillip and family., do have a lovely Easter.

Have been watching your wonderful and inspirational videos in isolation. Such a simple idea with far reaching knowledge for those who find you. And I hope many will find you as I have done. I am a watercolour artist on Vancouver Island. Please keep these videos coming. Take care, be kind and stay well.

This is a nice way to learn about art history while we are all in isolation. I love nettles represented in art, they have a curious rustic appeal (in relation to the Lucian Freud sketch).

This is so wonderful. Thank you, I'm crying tears of joy!

Thank you for the wonderful series! Huge fan of Fake or Fortune!

I am enjoying your house tour almost as much as the actual art.

I love the salomonian pillars of your bed , I love the skip of perspective between the objects , that creates the indescribable magic of confusion in the painting ;-)

So glad I found these, albeit three years late!

Brilliant! Loved it so much! Was looking forward to it all day "at work" lol

Another fabulous visit. Hello from Vancouver Island. Reminds me of my studying days in university. I adore listening and talking about art. Thanks so much for these personal studies. Enthralling and quieting fun during the present panic.

Another fabulous 'cameo'. Thanks once again to you and Oliver.

Philip.I have loved every episode and you...and Oliver ...have got me through some very difficult moments with your charming episodes. Cannot thank you enough. All best Deborah

What a delight! How generous of you to think of everyone bound to their homes and share not only your home, but your vast knowledge of art. I cannot thank you enough for giving me, and everyone, something to look forward to - I feel as though I'm beyond lucky to have found this and hope that as we put this dreadful mess behind us you will consider continuing in some fashion. Wishing you and your family the very best of health and happiness. Hanging on every word from Northern California, USA.

Wonderful to listen to you opening up the thoughts of the artist at the time he was creating his paintings yes so much that I could feel the pain of those sharp thorns......ugh!

The paintings can cross time and space, and the works in 1920 will not be outdated 100 years later.The explanation is very devoted，Love this house and collection

Bless you

An absolute delight 😍

So fabulous for times like these....

thanks for the wonderful series!!

Brilliant serries, thank you, learning so much.

That was a very interesting explanation of Morris' use of perspective in this picture. The commentary on the light/dark contrast is also, dare I say, enlightening?

A delightful drawing.

Thank you so much,just found your series and watching back to back,wow, a breath of fresh air look into your fabulous collection, marvellous.

Thanks again P&O! Wishing you all well for this Holy Triduum.

Thank you again. Hopefully won't miss tomorrow but if so I look forward to next week :)

Thank you for taking the time to do these films. They are uplifting and I am happy to have been introduced to CM. Nice pan at the end for a glimpse of you, Oliver.

What a fantastic concept ...you elevated art to a higher level bring life into your awesome collection with its individual history..thank you for opening your lovely home!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

It is already towards the end of May but I am loving these. Hope there are many more. Thank you.

Absolutely fascinating. Am loving this series. Thank you so much.

Take care - looking forward to next week!

Please can’t you do a tv series based on this theme, you are so easy to listen to!

What a comforting room!

Thank you so much for sharing your life and your passions with us. I’m a painter and during these times it easy to lose track of inspiration, but your love and knowledge of art is so sustaining, and helps me reconnect to my own inner fires. What a blessing. Oregon coast US

Your so very generous to share yourself and your home with us. Luv from a basic artist in New Zealand 😘

Hi from NYC. Just discovered these vlogs. Such a great thing to be doing. Love your Fake or Fortune show as well.

So loved this video particularly the education on the drawing in your bedroom. Many thanks from Australia!

Loving seeing your beautiful, restful comfortable home.

Can't say I'm enthused about Lucien Freud. His portrait of the Queen is loathsome, and this sketch of the weed can also go onto the bonfire as far as I'm concerned. Morris we'll keep!

Thank you so much Philip & Oliver for making these videos for us to joy. Very interesting episode again. Cedric Morris has been totally unknown artist to me until now. These videos bring so much inspiration to learn and read more about artists and their production. About thistles... I love photographing thistles. At the beginning of the summer they make you smile, later on they make you cry. For a moment they cheer you up as they look like 80s punk rockers with pink spikehair. But little later on you'll get to know its nasty nature when crying & trying to remove those "hooks" from your dog’s long fur - I have experienced it a few times. Thank god scissors were invented ;-)

Thank you for your wonderful and very interesting series. Makes the world feel less small and isolated. Greetings from the Cayman Islands, and looking forward to next week!

I understand more about art than i have done in the previous 83 yrs. Thank you.

Thank you for your latest video. Hot and humid here in Fla. Look forward to your Q&A tomorrow.

Greetings from Lisbon, Portugal. I’m really enjoying these micro-tutorials.

Love your programs Art in Isolation. makes life more interesting. Thanks from Texas USA!

It’s interesting of all the paintings you have you have a line drawing as being the first thing you see upon waking. I have a drawing by Duncan Grant right next to my bed. It affirms life and friendship and that is what I carry with me upon waking and throughout the day. Thanks for making this video.

Grazie, this is amazing as usual.what a lovely description and explication

Nice comfortable bedroom . This room promotes a restful atmosphere . Thank you for the videos. Some doctors are saying zinc helps kill the virus. Also drinking some fluids every 20 minutes.. We are having a beautiful day here. Going to plant some flowers. 🌷🌼🌺🌹🏵️😊

Great. Lovely to find Cedric Morris.

Another great episode Philip

i am an "artist' by hobby for therapeutic reason and stubbling upon your channel really is a personal warm introduction to historical significance and influences i was not aware of an i find i am learning so much that can help me in my own work. Thanks so much for you and for youtube steering me your way

I love this series immensely. It is so relaxing and I'm learning so much more than I did in any Art class! Ive been watching them after work in an evening, your collection is fantastic.

...you nailed it!

This is an amazing series. I am so pleased, Philip, that you have chosen to do this. Love the art and the insight you provide. Please, please, do keep up the series, it is something I look forward to each day. Thank you from BC Canada

I live in Suffolk and didn’t know about this artist Cedric Morris. . I will look him up. Fascinating. I have heard of lucian Freud and have his book. Thank you.

My sewing room is covered in Cedric Morris wallpaper, I shall send you a photograph, it’s been hung since 1990 and I feel quite cocooned in this space. There is something about his designs that always attracts me when searching for fabrics or wall coverings, and when I pounce on my choices they are most likely to be a Morris.

@Philip Mould & Co. It's a Freud?! I was almost 100% certain that it was a Dürer; Dürer or possibly Basilius Besler. Well, We learn something new every day! Philip, an idea: would you please do a segment giving commentary on "how" to display art? I have an extensive collection (well, more like an inventory...), and I am looking for better ideas to display these works, other than the patchwork quilt approach. Ta!~

And beautifully framed too Oliver

Thank you so much for these programs. They make this isolation just a little less oppressive. Ive always loved your passion and knowledge of art. I've enjoyed you in roadshows and fake or fortune. Thank you for these new programs. Karen Stein , an artist from Cincinnati, Ohio.

I want to wish you and your family Phillip a very happy Easter and to thank you sincerely for the time and effort you have put into Isolation at Home. A win/win situation for us all.

Fabulous, just binge watched your whole series so far! Thank you and keep going. Did make me chuckle that you're making films at your house and I've been making films at mine too, albeit just stories for my Reception class! Great way to stay in touch with people and help us remember that we're all still here!

Really enjoyed the introduction to Cedric Morris . Are you interested in Dora Carrington or Vanessa Bell? Your lovely house and garden set the programmes off beautifully and I love how you usually start outside. Thank you for this window to great art during the bleak days of lockdown.

During this time I hope to understand art like this more clearly. I like how Philip breaks down different aspects. I see this and think it's someone learning to do art. Which is obviously isn't. I just can't look at something like this and know the difference, and would like to.

I was just about to go bonkers when I discovered your videos! I am an artist, a former teacher of art with children ( if one can ever be a ‘former’ teacher), and have loved Art History from childhood with a Dad who encouraged it and a brother who was an Art Historian himself. I even tried my hand, still try, to learn botanical art from a dear and famous Botanical Artist and British gentleman, who just happens to live nearby, in of all places, Fairhope, Alabama. Derek teaches wonderful classes at our Botanical Gardens in Mobile. AL. Since my first tune-in to your episodes was #8, I was immediately taken by your information about Cedric Morris. However, I could not get on to Episode 9 as my computer took me directly to episode 10. I had three guesses of where the little red church on the hill was but will I ever know for sure? Greece, Spain, maybe Italy?? Anyway, will move on to episode 10 and more fun. Thanks for helping unbonker me!Love your home, by the way.

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and delightful works of art 🖼 . I appreciate you sharing all you know about the paintings and what it represents. I enjoy it. 😀

Thank you for your wonderful stories, and sharing your home and art with me.

Hello...before I listened to your podcasts I thought British art was behind European Art but how wrong I was it just needed someone to bring it to the forefront of neglect....and to watch these has been very informative for me and I have enjoyed every minute of it.....I thank you, but it seems I have always been in your shadow....

inspiring.. the home, the stories and the art, beautiful..thank you and Telegraph.

Thank you!
