THE ARRIVAL OF SPRING IN WOLDGATE, EAST YORKSHIRE, 13 JANUARY 2011

The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire, 13 January 2011 is a David Hockney iPad drawing from the 25 edition regular size print release of his celebrated series The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate. This work captures a peaceful country lane lined with red trunked trees and sparse undergrowth, where bare branches form an archway overhead and pale blue mist softens the light in the distance.

In this series, Hockney uses the iPad to transform direct observation into expressive digital landscapes. Created in 2011 across East Yorkshire, the collection blends immediacy, colour and mark making to document nature’s transition into spring. It stands as a milestone in both digital art and his wider artistic legacy.
