When Bryan and I first walked into the Arb this tree caught my eye.
Picture of a picture, I know, not the greatest quality. Sorry about the light streak, that was not my doing. I blame it on the disposable camera and workings it went through at the one hour photo lab. I like light leaks, but I find it a bit distracting.
I took Kitty to PetSmart this morning to get her nails trimmed. Afterward I came home and Darek dropped me off at Bob & Max's on his way to work. Bob, Max & I had lunch at The Chicken Ranch before heading to the Palm Springs Art Museum to see the David Hockney exhibit. I was a fun day.

On display at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Rouen.
There was an exhibition of some of the work David Hockney undertook while spending the COVID-19 period in Normandy.
David Hockney's nocturnes—with their assemblages of blues, greens, and blacks, their muted grayish-browns and carmines, their brilliant ochres and whites, whether treated in monochrome in the background or juxtaposed in powerful contrasts—reflect his fascination with light and its reflections, as well as his keen interest in the work of van Gogh.
In David Hockney's hands, the digital tablet becomes a magical object, offering the possibility of painting at night. On the phosphorescent surface, his every gesture becomes light.
With the "Moon Room," the painter also reveals a "mirror moon," an ambassador of the sun, as much as of painting.
This is a 1968 portrait of the writer Christopher Isherwood and his partner, the painter Don Bachardy.

Etching
Hockney visited the major Picasso exhibition in 1960 at the Tate Gallery and the modern Master became a lifelong love. Following Picasso’s death in 1973 Hockney made two etchings in the spirit of Picasso’s Vollard Suite (1930-7). In Artist and Model, Hockney depicts an imaginary meeting between the modern master and himself, as the nude model, using different etching techniques to differentiate between the two; the looser ‘sugar-lift’ method to describe Picasso and a more densely hatched line for himself. Hockney had been taught the sugar-lift, a technique particularly associated with Picasso, that year in Paris by Aldo Crommelynck, the master printer of the modern Master’s later etchings. Self-Portrait, July 1986, reflects the older artist‘s stylistic influence.*
From the exhibition
David Hockney: Drawing from Life
(November 2023 - January 2024)
David Hockney (b.1937) is regarded as one of the master draughtsmen of our times. He widely champions drawing, which is at the heart of his studio activity and has underpinned his work throughout his life. From the early pen and ink and coloured pencil drawings, to his more recent experiments with watercolour and digital technology, the artist’s inventive visual language has taken many different stylistic turns.
Over the past six decades he has never stood still, or rested on a particular approach, medium or technique, remaining inquisitive, playful and thought provoking while generously sharing his ideas with his audience. His drawing reflects his admiration for both the Old Masters and ‘modern Masters’ from Rembrandt to Picasso.
Drawing from Life explores the artist’s unique vision of the world around him, which is played out in portraits of himself and his intimate circle. A room of new ‘painted drawings’ of visitors to his Normandy studio in 2021-2 offer a glimpse of Hockney’s continuing working life.
All works in the exhibition are by David Hockney..
