Yosemite II, October 16th, 2011 is an iPad drawing by David Hockney from the artist’s acclaimed Yosemite Suite. Part of a rare 12-edition release, the composition depicts a vibrant Yosemite National Park landscape, where a tree-lined pathway leads towards the pale cliffs of El Capitan beneath a soft blue sky. Dense green foliage frames the scene, while Hockney’s layered digital brushwork and vivid tonal contrasts create depth, movement, and atmosphere throughout the composition. The work reflects Hockney’s continued exploration of perspective, observation, and the expressive possibilities of digital drawing.

Created entirely on iPad, the Yosemite Suite marked a significant development in Hockney’s digital practice, combining direct landscape observation with contemporary technology. Produced during the artist’s engagement with Yosemite National Park, the series captures changing light, texture, and spatial relationships with immediacy and precision. The Yosemite works are now regarded among the most important digital landscapes within Hockney’s wider body of prints and editions, demonstrating how digital media could expand the visual language of contemporary landscape art.
