    The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, 2 January, 2011 is an iPad drawing by David Hockney from the edition of 25 produced as part of The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate series. The image presents a winter landscape at the very start of the year, with rain pooling along a softly coloured lane and catching the surrounding light. The familiar layout, with a winding path and distant structural feature, provides a fixed vantage point that allows the gradual shift from winter into spring to be traced across the series. Subtle tones of yellow, green and orange appear among the trees, while a brighter patch of green in the background hints at the first emergence of new growth.

     

    Hockney’s repeated engagement with landscape reflects his long personal connection to both Yorkshire and California, two places that have shaped much of his visual language. Collectors drawn to The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate often also explore his other digital series, including The Yosemite Suite and My Normandy, which similarly document specific locations through sustained observation. Across these bodies of work, Hockney uses the iPad as a tool for capturing light, colour and atmosphere, extending his lifelong interest in place through a contemporary digital medium.

    - David Hockney

    The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate series represents one of David Hockney’s most sustained engagements with a single subject, capturing the gradual transformation of the Yorkshire landscape over time. Rather than focusing on isolated moments, the series forms a visual sequence that documents change through repetition, allowing each work to function both independently and as part of a wider narrative. This approach has given the series a distinctive coherence, making it widely regarded as one of the most significant bodies of digital landscape works in contemporary art.
