| David Hockney |
On a recent trip to Saltaire, I went to visit Salt's Mill and took in David Hockney's The Arrival of Spring. These drawings catalogue the changing seasons on Woldgate, near Bridlington in East Yorkshire. They are a series of fantastic iPad drawings made from late 2010 through 2011. Using the iPad allowed Hockney to complete them quickly and it was always planned that they would be printed out at a large scale.
Here are a few of the wonderful artworks ...

If you are in or near Saltaire do take a trip to Salt's Mill. Apart from David Hockney's works there are restaurants and cafes, an excellent bookshop and all manner of other interesting stuff from jewellery to chairs to art supplies - to mention just some of my favourites!
There is also a nice parade of shops and cafes on Victoria Road and Victoria Hall is often home to vintage and makers events (e.g. Rose and Brown Vintage - which is where I got my vintage suitcase - take a look here & Saltaire Inspired.) There is ample parking at Salt's Mill and there is also a carpark on Victoria Road.
Makes a great day out rain or shine!
