    The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, 5 March, 2011 presents a dynamic roadside view within the Yorkshire landscape, where passing cars move beneath a canopy of yellow and brown tree trunks. The sky is rendered in soft pink and purple tones, creating a striking contrast with the darker branches above. Along the left edge of the composition, patches of fresh green grass emerge, while a roadside marker featuring a horse’s head and clusters of white wildflowers introduce small details that ground the scene in everyday rural life.

  • "Trees don't follow the laws of perspective, or don't seem to, because they are so complicated, with lines going in so many directions" 

    - David Hockney
    In his iPad works, David Hockney’s line work becomes especially fluid and expressive, reflecting the immediacy of drawing directly onto a digital surface. The absence of physical tools allows for clean, continuous lines that can be adjusted, layered, and refined in real time, giving the compositions a sense of speed and clarity. This approach results in images that feel both spontaneous and deliberate, capturing Hockney’s observations of landscape with a distinctive balance of control and freedom unique to his digital practice.
