    The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, 12 April No.1, 2011 is an iPad drawing by David Hockney from the regular-size edition release of the Arrival of Spring in Woldgate series. The composition centres on a crooked tree rendered in deep purple-grey tones, with varied brushstrokes building texture across the bark. Mossy green patches appear along the trunk, while the canopy is formed from layered shapes and tones, including darker green circular forms and lighter leaves that suggest early spring growth. Branches extend across the right side of the composition, creating a strong structural presence.

     

    In the foreground, a path runs diagonally across the lower left in soft beige tones. To the right, Hockney builds colour and texture through layered shades of mauve, dark green, beige, and lime, leading into thick grasses at the base of the tree. Beyond, rolling hills and a pale blue sky evoke the open landscape of the Yorkshire countryside, reinforcing the sense of place that defines the series.
