    The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, 22 March, 2011 is an iPad drawing by David Hockney that centres on a twisting, leafless tree rendered in tones of yellow, brown, and ochre. Its gnarled branches extend outward in multiple directions, filling much of the composition and creating a strong structural focus. In the foreground, a glimpse of a country road appears alongside areas of mud and grass, with long grasses partially obscuring the base of the trunk. Behind the tree, rolling Yorkshire hills unfold in layered shades of green, adding depth and context to the scene.
