David Hockney
(2008) 
 

 Three Trees Near Thixendale, Spring 2008 is one of four pieces that David Hockney painted from the same spot during the winter and summer of 2007, and the spring and autumn of 2008. No matter which picture you observe you cannot fail to be impressed with his vivid colours. Spring's here again, the winter has surrendered to the new beginnings found in a springtime lansdacpe, but spring passes into summer and you are all too acutely aware of it here. The emerging wildflowers and foliage coming into leaf recall the ghosts of the seasons past and remind us that with their emerging they too will die in the cycle of the seasons. All things must pass.
Paul Page, 2012
