"The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire, 19th February 2011" is part of a larger series of works called "The Arrival of Spring" that Hockney created whilst he was living in East Yorkshire, England.
The series captures the changing landscape of the countryside during the arrival of spring, and Hockney's fascination with nature and its transformation is evident in these artworks. The digital painting "The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire, 19th February 2011" specifically depicts the landscape on a specific date, and it is known for its vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes.
Hockney created this series using an iPad and the Brushes app, showcasing his exploration of digital art and technology. The iPad allowed him to capture the essence of the moment quickly and directly, enabling him to work outdoors and capture the changing scenes in real-time.
