Yesterday I visited the David Hockney exhibition at the Royal Academy.
What I especially enjoyed is his taking time to observe. The sketch books of great detail, the returning to the same scene again and again. The exploring of the same scene at regular intervals. The one theme of The Arrival of Spring in 2011 portrayed in 51 views (and others not used also on display on IPads.
(How does he achieve such detail for such large prints - see also the final room - with such a relatively small tool?).
Then in contrast there is intense activity. 'Action Week', when the Hawthorne flowers. There is hardly any time to portray it as it is so short lived.
May I know when to watch and pray and when to act.
