THE ARRIVAL OF SPRING IN WOLDGATE, EAST YORKSHIRE, 18 March 2011

The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire, 18 March 2011 is a David Hockney iPad drawing from the 25-edition, regular size print release of his 49-part digital series The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate. This piece presents a vivid rural scene with a deep red tree arching across the foreground, its bare branches intricately drawn against a pale blue sky, with green grass and a dotted pink field receding into the distance.

Hockney’s Arrival of Spring collection marks a pivotal moment in digital landscape art. Created on an iPad throughout 2011 in East Yorkshire, the series captures the transition of the seasons through colour, composition, and gestural line. These works fuse digital immediacy with observational detail, making them a defining contribution to Hockney’s catalogue and the wider field of contemporary British art.
