Hockney and me




Hockney's 'Bigger Tress near Warter' is at the York City Art Gallery. It took my breath. 50 canvases painted plein air with incredible fluidity and energy. Seeing his masterpiece reminds me of my dad, that he too sees colour and line and that we are connected through Hockney's tree branch pink brush strokes and big eyes for landscape. We had tea at 'Betty's' tea room and held hands and it was the perfect Sunday.

that sounds like a beautiful but time consuming task my librarian friend...don't strain your eyes.
Miss you and all of the things we think of when we are together
