Visited Saltaire today and although not a great lover of David Hockney's work I did find his iPad paintings pretty spectacular! I thought his description of the way the seasons change and the contrast between winter and summer just spot on. You do need to experience winter and the bleakness of it before you can appreciate the lushness of Spring and Summer. Although painting on an iPad leaves me cold! I can appreciate the speed in which a painting can be created using this device....light, vegetation and the elements can change a scene within seconds. He has managed to make a very flat medium visualize such atmospheric images with a very limited colour palette.
