The secret's out
Bridlington has been delighted that David Hockney has made East Yorkshire his home since his return full-time from the United States. This son of Bradford first visited the resort as a child and his mother lived there for years.
Now, Britain's greatest living artist is exhibiting a major body of work which he has observed in the East Yorkshire villages around Bridlington and Hull, namely the Yorkshire Wolds. This often missed part of the world remains peaceful, unspoilt and for now untroubled by large hoards of tourists.
They have mainly gone in search of please at the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales, and with good reason. They are beautiful. Happily we have been left the Wolds to ourselves but for how much longer. Could it be that Driffield becomes the new Hawes or Sewerby the new Ingleton?
The art itself looks stunning based on the reviews seen on television and the national newspapers. One of his outstanding works is Bigger Trees and the source material for that can be seen in an earlier blog. The visual impact of the painting of them is awe-inspiring.
Some of his works centre around the village of Kilham where this image was captured. It was still, peaceful and bitingly cold on the February day it was taken.
David Hockney, you are an inspiration.
