  • "It's always difficult to see the present"

    - David Hockney

The path, rendered in shades of pink and purple, invites the viewer into the distance, flanked by lush greenery and intricate vegetation. Hockney's masterful use of expressive lines to illustrate overarching tree branches adds dynamic depth to the scene. This limited edition print, with only 10 copies available, exemplifies Hockney's innovative approach to merging traditional landscape themes with modern digital techniques.
