  • "Most artists, good artists, trust their intuition. I trust mine. Sometimes it leads you to make mistakes, but that hardly matters"

     

    - David Hockney

    This work showcasing tall, slender trees, evokes a sense of depth and tranquility. The bare branches intertwine, creating a delicate lacework against a light background, while the densely textured foliage below adds a rich contrast. The monochromatic palette highlights the intricate details of the trees, emphasizing their height and elegance. Hockney captures a serene woodland moment, where nature’s quiet grandeur takes center stage, blending simplicity with complexity through his masterful use of light and shadow. The piece conveys both stillness and subtle movement within the forest.
