Art in Isolation | Series 2 Episode 10: Meadow Making, Dora Noyes

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

We are still up to our knees in snow where I live. ;-) So, thank you for the flowers and a promise of summer. :-)

[@jasmin5753]

Wonderful episode..thank you. Really sweet watching Cedric frolicking through the meadows.

[@rotarystone7085]

Thank you 🙏 from Australia 🇦🇺

[@lyndao7356]

Its so graceful. A gentle dance. Philip, you're saving lives with this series of yours. Mine, for one. Thanks

[@philipmould7898]

That’s humbling to hear. But thank you.

[@geoffstone1296]

Such a beautiful painting. How lucky you are to live with all the wonderful paintings you have introduced us to during the last year. Thank you

[@philipmould7898]

Pleasure

[@LarWolkan]

Thanks Philip for the exposure to another little unknown treasure! Love seeing Cedric running about, but I'm a dog fan too! Music fits perfectly!

[@waxeye6488]

Keep saving meadow flowers! 🌻🌼🌸🌷

[@johntuffin3262]

Thank you. That was special. Usually I think KZbin videos are better without music. It too often crowds out what the presenter is saying and showing, but this was an exception. The music was very appropriate and well chosen.

[@Winston01]

Thank you for commending Mariam Batsashvili to your audience's attention. My Chopin and Liszt collections have needed an update. So, I purchased the featured album on this episode. Thank you very much for the new music and the exquisite art!

[@philipmould7898]

I’m delighted! She is an extraordinary player snd adds so much to the visual response.

[@eddiespence8775]

Ladies themselves look like subtle beautiful flowers in a meadow blown by the breeze. Music superb!

[@pikeywyatt]

for me it is the hope of spring.from a old man in e.sussex..Thanks.

[@philipmould7898]

Know the feeling!

[@theeaselrider4032]

Great seeing Cedric bounding through the meadow. My Hamish used to love stuff like that. It was hilarious watching a 90lb Lab, bounding through all those tall grass and flowers, like a giant, yellow Bunny. Even for a small painting, there's still a great sense of openness, the vast space of the fields. I like it. I also like that it's a simple subject. Anyone can look at the painting, and get a good sense of what the artist is telling us. You can almost feel the breeze as you stand there watching the ladies work.

[@philipmould7898]

All true! Thank you.

[@jeffhreid]

The turquoise in one of the shadows is a surprising charming touch

[@LA-ph2nc]

Terrific as always! Thak you for continuing with these wonderful series. And those buttercups made my evening!

[@janetsydoruk4723]

I just love watching your videos. It makes me feel less isolated. Just seeing your dog run around enjoying herself makes me feel so good. Thank you n

[@philipmould7898]

I’m glad! Thanks.

[@williamevans9426]

Cedric loved your buttercups - I'm pleased to see he's still just as active, albeit whilw sporting his winter wardrobe!

[@philipmould7898]

Indeed!

[@jennydebney2215]

Fabulous Phillip Thank you. Loved the gentle painting of a bye gone era.

[@ninianmacmillan-keith7435]

You have just reminded me , it’s ages since I saw a buttercup. As a child there were many and we used to hold one up to friends chins in the sunlight and see if the liked butter

[@janicebone6191]

Phillip, at the rear of our house in Cornwall (near Hayle), we have an unused meadow. It runs along a river valley....its too wet for anything...the flowers we have in there are so amazing... Twice a year the farmer cuts it by hand..the land is too rocky also too wet for machinery... thank goodness...

[@jolali1]

The first piece of music is Chopin’s “Wish”. In fact it’s a song and it begins with: „If I were the sun in the sky, I would shine only for you”. Meadows are magical. Here in Poland some of them change colours every fortnight - thanks to new species of flowers blooming. I am so grateful for these delightful moments with art in such beautiful surroundings. Thank you!

[@philipmould7898]

Thank you!

[@LordVikingLive]

Lovely. I have buttercups too. And I let wildflowers grow on my lawn. I just cut the grass around them.

[@jacquelinearcher1158]

What a beautiful picture...all with clean aprons too....the music was delightful too..good luck with the meadow.

[@philipmould7898]

Thank you.

[@margo3367]

How much art does this dude have? I mean, enough for a season 2? Wow.

[@derblae52]

I found you on KZbin during the beginning of the lockdown and have come to appreciate your efforts in bringing joy. I have gone on to appreciate a number of artists and art that you have showcased. I am enthralled with this artist work. The brushwork and color are laudable.

[@philipmould7898]

I’m pleased. Thanks

[@tomjoelberglind1924]

Looking forward to this series every week. Sort of brings us together with a positive focus. And like this wonderful painting illustrate, let us hope people soon can work close together😊🇳🇴

[@pennythompson5850]

Hello, Philip! I don't know if you still check here for comments, but I just discovered this searching under your name. I'm a woman in my 70's who fairly recently came across the wonders available on You Tube channels (and how a VPN can bring me the British shows I love!! Bit of an Anglophile here) and have now finished watching every Fake or Fortune I could find! While I am well educated, I never took art appreciation or delved into the work of fine art. Until, that is, on my first trip to Paris where seeing Monet's Poppy Fields at Musée d'Orsay literally stopped me in my tracks from across the room with its shimmering poppies and vibrancy. I suddenly realized what an oil painting in person offers that a print simply cannot. I then went around the museum like a mad woman to see as much as I could with my newfound wonder of art. That particular trip to Europe ended at the Rijksmuseum and there, once again, immediately stopped in wonder at seeing Night Watch. In subsequent trips to Europe I've made a point to make sure I went to art museums to find new treasures that spoke to me. But I remained one of those people who just "knows what she likes" without a clue how to describe what I felt, or what the artist was saying. So the years passed and I am now facing the slow creeping of blindness due to macular degeneration and am seeking out those things that I love most to see. I so thoroughly enjoyed Fake or Fortune and particularly your descriptions of the paintings, etc. and your passion which has taught me so much and given words to feelings I experienced with many works of art as well as new artists to read about and explore their work!. So now I have discovered this series which you made during lockdown and continue to learn and enjoy!!! I just wanted to pass along my deepest thanks for sharing your remarkable gift of language in explaining the pieces of art and the world it has opened to me and I now am filing my mental "gallery" of all the pieces I've loved so they will be in my memory always. Warmest regards and endless thanks from Chicago in the USA. Penny Thompson

[@alannothnagle]

Loved this! These videos are a true delight in an age where it's rare to visit anyone at home, and it's utterly impossible to visit an art exhibition. These brief but luscious insights give me and many others hope for better times.

[@philipmould7898]

I’m pleased they have reached you!

[@howdy268]

Thank you Philip stunning

[@user-pp4nd7vw8m]

What a lovely break from mundane lockdown! I Appreciate Philip, Cedric, the beautiful camera work and the lovely piano music! Thank you for your efforts!

[@philipmould7898]

Thank you!

[@johnclark546]

Lovely. Transporting as always.

[@GarnetLynne]

Your dog is so cute! What a runner!

[@jacqueruston2147]

I love this series so much! Thank you Philip Mould. You've introduced me to do many wonderful works.

[@peterostermiller3576]

Nice painting. Nice field of wildflowers.

[@murraywagnon1841]

That is a really nice painting!

[@jelenaandrejevic7127]

Thank you!

[@joannekucks4343]

I find it interesting that the artist made the hay wagon and male workers in the background more resemble the trees. In fact I didn’t see the wagon until the closeup. To me it shows the artist’s desire to have the people blend into the natural landscape literally. Happy Easter! 🥰🐞💐🐣

[@fiorenzaattanasio4796]

Thank you soooo much a Feast for my eyes and ears. Many many Thanks

[@FilmFanization]

I'm so glad I found this channel! Its wonderful!

What a beautiful meadow, spring feels so transcendent and peaceful in these shots.

[@philipmould7898]

Thanks

[@jenniferlahr2145]

Art, Music and your beautiful home as a backdrop. Once again an amazing combination and such a delightful and charming film. I know your series was brought on by Isolation, but what a gift. I love Art in Isolation. Thank you. I hope you continue even when the horrible pandemic is over

[@philipmould7898]

Thank you! Appreciated.

[@williamfahey6066]

A very Beautiful painting. I Love the Impressionist quality and how the faces are more focused. I find that very unusual. I found the longer I looked at the Painting the more the details came through. I like the painting so much that if you wanted to sell it and I had the money to buy it, I would. You do have good taste. Thank you Philip for another Wonderful video and for sharing your Love of paintings with us. I look forward to your videos, they do pull me in, in the best way. I love your House too. All the best to you and the Beautiful dog who moves at lighting speed. I look forward to seeing your meadow blooming. Jeff

[@luciemedici]

Buttercup meadows forever Thanks for your wonderful insight

[@rutilopata8294]

Nothing more fulfilling then to watch and learn from you first thing, in a sunny chilly morning😌love the painting, music, a joy of your dog among the buttercups🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼thank you kindly for an uplifting presentation🙏🏻🦋

Thanks!

[@katharinatrub1338]

Beautiful this painting by Dora Noye's and such an original way to hang it !

[@raf499]

Thank you Philip for your wonderful videos. I so enjoy watching your gorgeous home and surrounds as well as the artworks, and love that you have introduced so many new (to me) artists. Lockdown here in Melbourne was long and arduous and your series has been life saving, especially that we haven't been able to travel overseas or even visit local galleries. So thank you again, I hope that you and yours are safe and well.

[@philipmould7898]

I’m delighted it’s been some compensation. Thanks.

[@patricialewinska1351]

Uplifting and beautiful both the painting and music. Thank you

[@Baltic200]

Great video, thanks so much. What a wonderful meadow! A lot of compliments for your work around the wild flower protection. It's so important. Hugs to your Cedric.

[@flowerfairy1950]

Very much looking forward to seeing your Meadow this year.

[@soniaemmanouilidou1139]

Love the movement

Love love the Dora Noyes painting....if its missing from its hook...it has flown to South Africa! Thank you Philip for an extraordinary take on all things Art!

[@philipmould7898]

Haha! Thanks

[@carolineassheton5624]

Beautiful.

[@francesgilmour9728]

Utter joy. A beautiful painting and a meadow that took me back to childhood. I grew up in the suburbs of a large city, with farmland and moors nearby. One of the closest fields was known to everyone as "the buttercup field". Happy memories of warm sunny days with friends. Thank you very much.

[@philipmould7898]

Thank you!

[@laurensouthgate2458]

Thank you so much for this its nice to see beauty in the world.

[@saraht4973]

So grateful to see this effort and the lovely painting. Just a fantastic series...so appreciate your thoughts and efforts to bring these to all.

[@philipmould7898]

Thank you!

[@WillowTreePottery]

I remember helping with "stooking" to help with the harvest of hay for feeding cattle in winter and I certainly NEVER looked like that . It IS beautiful. The needlepoint is extraordinary. Congatulations on having a beautiful meadow, maybe some bees next?

[@philipmould7898]

Bees are here! Thank you.

[@WillowTreePottery]

@@philipmould7898 wonderful can you harvest the honey or do hive keepers do it?

[@philipmould7898]

@@WillowTreePottery both!

[@heidis3993]

The painting, and the commentary, evoke the beauty of a wild meadow, but the meadow in the painting must have been something like a monoculture of alfafa or similar crop. However, it is in any case a great pleasure to take a mini-holiday from isolation life, to watch these.

[@voliabrandaolaveneremachad7849]

Hope your meadows look like this again this year! Such a beautiful picture of the women and of your meadows! Looking forward to the flowers next week!

[@philipmould7898]

Thanks

You always give me reason to rejoice even when life feels so stalled.

Thank you !

[@pippinderstarke6721]

A fantastic painting thanks for sharing it.

[@wendyelainedonald]

Thank you once again for a glorious program. I enjoy the way you expose me to painters I have not heard of before (Like this one) or whose work I am not realy familiar with.Kind regards from Melbourne Australia, just a few days out of our snap lockdown.

[@philipmould7898]

And to you !

[@damianbyrne1664]

Love these videos Philip. Your house looks beautiful, and such history! How about doing a video tour of the house and grounds? Would fascinating i'm sure.

[@biddydibdab9180]

This picture reminds me of a necklace I saw once that was a strand of pastel, semi-precious stones linked by a thin gold chain. The girls, of course, are the gems. Your meadow is sparkling.

[@lyndahillyer5651]

Wonderful, so uplifting, thank you so much.

[@heatherrichmond6251]

My grandmother has a large plate ( doulton ) called the gleaners . This reminds me of that . I have it now .love your show

[@m.e.langieri4957]

Thank you for that wonderful wonderful painting and especially for the buttercups! We are knee deep in snow for weeks now and it was lovely to feel the possibility of Spring ahead of us.

[@philipmould7898]

Thanks!

[@dorothysmith7280]

I love this painting and your explanation of it is on point. It's as if the women are dressed for a social occasion with their colorful rakes! They seem to be twirling around them...perhaps there is music playing in the barn. We in the US are here in the cold with many friends suffering in Texas and (on my birthday as predicted) we count one half million gone from us. So lastly Thank You for your meadow of buttercups! I'll post everything on FB for family and friends to see and enjoy. 🌻

[@philipmould7898]

Thank you! I’m glad it’s of some help.

[@chrissy1510]

Chopin,, Cedric and buttercups...I cherish your KZbin clips, because of the joy they give me. (KZbin clip seems rather a crass description, I feel 😆)l I love the synergy of the rippling piano notes, and the rippling of the flowers as Cedric bounds through them. Thank you!

[@sdamoros]

I have enjoyed this series so much. A peaceful, informative, and engaging interlude in the midst of various states of pandemic lockdowns. What a joy these sessions are - I tend to watch them when I need a reminder of the beauty and joy we can take in art and nature. Thank you for sharing these always interesting, frequently moving glimpses into your country home.

[@philipmould7898]

That’s lovely to hear. Thank you.

[@robynwilliams8110]

I find that an immensely appealing picture - its colour delicate palette, the rhythm and movement of the mowers ,,, I am spinning hand dyed wool in this range of colours - and then today picked a pomegranate and there are the same colours (minus the burgundy on one face)..

[@vanessainnes-wagstaff7511]

Really nice painting, natural, by no-one madly successful or famous, but merited for it's own merit and nothing more...has a hint of Eduard Munch about it for me, love the mauve and the sweep direction of the bodies and rakes.

[@SuperSusieW]

A gorgeous painting, a beautiful meadow and an adorable dog. Totally uplifting. Thank you Phillip.

[@philipmould7898]

I’m pleased.

[@wastenotwantnotArt]

You are truly blessed to have made a meadow. I enjoyed Cedric’s Little House on the Prairie moment too 😍

[@philipmould7898]

Ha! Thanks.

[@1Thedairy]

It’s clever the way the artist creates movement that draws you into the painting. So simple yet so effective. It’s good to hear that you are President of Plantlife and are so interested in wild flowers. I’ve being trying for years to try and stop BANES council cutting the wildflower verges as soon as they start to bloom but without much success sadly.

[@philipmould7898]

Good for you! Well done and thanks.

[@ivorytower99]

Just what I needed today! Lovely picture. I think that in this film, Cedric stole the show, accompanied by the dramatic piano fort'e!~

[@philipmould7898]

Good! Thanks.

[@61juliette]

The rakes are like stems, bent by the wind, the girls are like flowers, their bonnets are evocative of aquilegia (also called granny bonnets)

[@andrewtremblay262]

What a beautiful painting. You can feel the breeze as well. One observation as well yes right to left the eyes are drawn but the are all raking with a left handed grip . It has to be that way to get the feel of right to left

[@philipmould7898]

Good point. Thanks!
