    THE ARRIVAL OF SPRING IN WOLDGATE, EAST YORKSHIRE, 25 February 2011

    The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire, 25 February 2011 is a David Hockney iPad drawing from the 25 edition regular size print release of his landmark series The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate. This piece centres on a bold red tree stump emerging from the forest floor, surrounded by golden-brown leaves and textured green grass, with a backdrop of tall, vertical trees creating layered woodland depth.

     

    Hockney’s iPad landscapes combine digital innovation with plein-air sensibility, using bold colour and compositional clarity to document nature’s awakening. The Arrival of Spring stands as a key digital series in his oeuvre, celebrating seasonal change through the lens of modern creative tools.
