    The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire, 31 May No. 2, 2011 by David Hockney presents a country lane rendered in soft mauve tones, winding through dense hedgerows in full leaf. The composition is framed by flowering greenery in varied shades of green, while a pale blue sky with scattered clouds introduces a sense of warmth. Wildflowers in bloom along the grass verge reinforce the impression of late spring, capturing the landscape at a moment of full seasonal maturity.

     

    Created in 2011 using an iPad, The Arrival of Spring, 31 May No. 2, 2011 forms part of Hockney’s Arrival of Spring series, which reimagines the East Yorkshire landscape through digital mark-making. The work demonstrates Hockney’s use of layered transparency and varied brush effects to replicate depth, texture, and movement, translating traditional landscape principles into a distinctly digital visual language.

    David Hockney became an early pioneer in integrating the iPad into his practice. Works produced across his iPad-series have since emerged as some of the most widely recognised and collected within his print output, supported by exhibitions and sustained interest from private and institutional collectors. Series such as Arrival of Spring in Woldgate and The Yosemite Suite reflect this period, during which Hockney continued to revisit enduring subjects, including landscape, still life, and portraiture that have defined his work for decades.
