    The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire, 18 May 2011 is a David Hockney iPad drawing from the 25-edition, regular size print release of his 49-part Arrival of Spring in Woldgate series. This artwork portrays the subtle greening of an old, weathered tree as new buds begin to emerge. Its thin branches reach into a luminous sky, set above gently rolling fields, creating a tender contrast between mature form and fresh seasonal growth.

     

    Hockney’s iPad series captures the unfolding of spring with expressive digital techniques and plein-air sensitivity. Blending observation with innovation, each piece translates natural change into vivid, modern landscape art.

    - David Hockney

    This vibrant iPad drawing exemplifies David Hockney's innovative approach to art. Measuring 55" x 41.5", the piece features a gnarled tree with budding leaves, standing proudly against a backdrop of rolling hills and a soft, cloud-dotted sky. The dynamic composition, combined with the digital medium, highlights Hockney's ability to blend technology with traditional landscape themes, creating a contemporary yet timeless work of art. The intricate detailing of the tree and the fresh green shoots evoke the spirit of spring's renewal, capturing the resilience and beauty of nature as it awakens.
