“Water in swimming pools changes its look more than in any other form… its colour can be man-made and its dancing rhythms reflect not only the sky but, because of its transparency, the depth of the water as well. If the water surface is almost still and there is a strong sun, then dancing lines with the colours of the spectrum appear everywhere.” David Hockney
Also from David Hockney:
“What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something, because of course art is about sharing: you wouldn’t be an artist if you didn’t want to share an experience, a thought.”
“When you are older, you realize that everything else is just nothing compared to painting and drawing.”
Break-a-Brush!

“Always live in the ugliest house on the street – then you don’t have to look at it” David Hockney
