"I have never seen an ugly natural landscape"

- David Hockney

Measuring 93" x 70", Yosemite II, October 5th, 2011 captures the majestic essence of Yosemite's towering mountains, partially veiled in a thick layer of mist and clouds. The composition is dominated by the dramatic contrast between the dark, imposing cliffs and the vibrant green of the forest below. The interplay of the soft, ethereal clouds against the solid, rugged landscape highlights the dynamic beauty of nature. Hockney's use of digital techniques brings a modern touch to this timeless scene, blending technology with the awe-inspiring grandeur of the natural world.
